58 pieces of light milk carton lampshade

'58 pieces of light' 25x10 inches, is lampshade made of recycled milk cartons, created to cover ugly light that can be found in most of our homes in the attic, basement, hallway - there is always one ugly light. With a retake for life, the milk carton plastic acts now as camouflaging agent, creating interest and ambiance around it. Washable and cleanable, this old lamp covering shade is available for $50.

I love scifi more than any other movie genre. 'Bad' and good scifi - from lame Pacific Rim to ones that I consider real scifi, take Red Planet, for example. Science fiction gives us an escape from the every day life, a chance for everyone to become masters of their own lives for the duration of the film, just to wake up again next morning in wool socks to a barking sound of mobile phones alarm clock.For believers of future, get my humor on 'gamelight', 23x9x7.5 inches. Available for $75 with change bulb for passengers in the night, scared of darkness. Click image for more views of the piece, or contact Veera Pfaffli for more info.

Angel wing sculpture from recycled materials

2014 Starts with firm decision to post at least one completed project, created out of something old, reused, upcycled or remade in general, once a week to a blog. Why? because I think this is one way to wake up people to recycle and see things with different eyes, thinking about environment. Who knows if it will, but 2014 is my year to test it!

Project #1  is angelwing, sculpture made out of milk container plastic, old fridge copper tubing, and wood. I thought it was an appropriate piece to start craftwingit blog, and we all need something reminding us of angels around us...
