feathers in a frame

My daughters love to go to the petting zoo, not only for the animals. But also for all the feathers you can find there. The down feathers from the parrot in the pet shop also end up in there pockets.

A couple of months ago I treated myself to framed feathers. Unfortunately not the very pretty ones from Lola & Kate with the steel frames, there a bit to much for my budget. But a lovely black wooden frame with 5 golden pheasant feathers. To my surprise a few weeks later I found exactly the same frame at a local store, so I made myself another frame with some of the feathers my daughters collected.






My frame with found feathers only costs a fraction of what I payed for the pheasant version. Plus our chicken, turkey and parrot feathers are in no way inferior to the more exotic varieties. To be honest ... I like ours better.

Have you made this easy DIY yet? And did you use found feathers or store bought?

knotted pendant lamps by Kwangho Lee

A while ago I came across this picture on, of course, Pinterest and I was in love. At the time I couldn't get to the source of the picture. In my research for another post recently I came across it again and this time I found the designer: Kwangho Lee. He is a designer from Seoul, Korea. His basic design principle is giving new meaning and function to everyday objects and materials. The inspiration came from his grandmother knitting when he was young and from his grandfather who recycled everything he found. The lamp that first caught my eye is entirely made from thick electrical wire. For this restaurant he made them from rope. pendant lamps in The Atlantic Restaurant  The technique he uses is a sort of self-invented finger knitting. Every piece is entirely handmade. The material is so tough that he often worked until his hands bled. blue pendant lamps brown pendant lamp brown pendant lamp detail black pendant lamp black pendant lamp chandel

Collection: Lampe chunky

Afbeelding
This month will be all about the latest addition to the Lampes: the Lampe chunky. The Lampe chunky fits nicely between my plug in lamp and my garden lamp.  The design of the Lampe plug in is quite fine and delicate and when I designed the garden lamp, the material made this lamp more chunky. I liked that look for outside. But I also wanted that look for inside, so I decided to combine the chunkyness of the gardenlamp with the colours and material of the plug in lamp. The result: a sturdy, chunky, more industrial plug in lamp for inside. Available in 6 colours thick cotton, with 3 meters cord and a plug with a switch. For the bulb you can choose between an opal or a clear led bulb of 4 watt. In the third picture you can see I hung the lamp on the wall with a strap. This is the Loop XL, comparible with the Loop pillow (which I discribed in my previous collection blog) but a bit smaller. The Loop XL straps are made from thick merino wool felt and are available in 8
