Happy New Year 2012!!



November and December were really crazy, so I had few blog posts. No promise about the new year.




My newest lamp is an upcycled lamp from a yard sale. I unassembled the lamp, tore off the paper, repainted the wood and on my handmade paper, painted 4 different Chinese symbols.



The next lamp in my series is bold, black Chinese symbols painted on white abaca hand made paper.




I chose and painted the symbols for destiny, happiness, harmony, and peace.



I feel these symbols are universal in meaning for the start of the new year.

Modern Natural Hand Made Paper Light with Scarlet Red Oak Leaves Series 200



Here is my next lamp. Modern Natural Hand Made Paper Light with Scarlet Red Oak Leaves Series 200. I found that this lamp was much easier to make, (Thanks, Ashby for helping with the sawing and drilling!)

My earthy handmade paper light with scarlet red oak leaves on three sides is a modern addition to a small table or night stand.

I am excited about this light because of all the recycling, upcycling and natural items I have incorporated. The pine wood base is salvaged from old shelving, the stick supports are from the forest, and the electrical cord is upcycled from an old lamp.


Take a look around my shop for other exciting paper products here.

PaperMajik Reveals New Project!!

Papermajik reveals new project, soon to be in her store..


Do you remember a few posts ago when I had a picture of what looked like a pile of sticks?






Well, as promised, you get the first look at what I created--a paper lamp. This is my paper with gingko leaves pressed into the paper. The lamp is constructed of basswood which I cut, stained, glued and screwed together to hold a small light bulb (night light size).

I wanted to create this as an accessory to one's home.

This is a proto-type as I was learning while I created. What should I charge for the lamp? I really need your input--$30, $60, ???

Thanks for looking and giving your help.
