Mannequin Hand Light Fixtures

Beacons #1 & #2 $165 ea. or $300 pr.

These two lights are made of a cypress driftwood plank found on the Bay St. Louis beach. Vintage painted mannequin hands support a chain holding safety light covers with an Edison bulb.

 

I do believe that these are my favorite things that I've ever made (so far). They weren't easy, but I made it through. The finish is the famous "Ghost Finish" as discussed in previous posts. All of the other elements were antiqued with a glaze and dirty hands. The cord is a vintage revival cloth cord and the bulb is the popular new Edison reproduction. As difficult as it was to put these together, they were well-worth it.

SOLD!

This lamp is made of upcycled door panels, a mannequin hand, and a vegan leather shade. Chandelier crystals were added to embellish the piece and to add points of reflection for the light. This is another one of my favorite pieces.

You can find all of these light fixtures at the Steampunk Show held in the Paper Moon Gallery of Century Hall in Bay St. Louis, MS from June 9-July 10, 2012.
