made of molten fucking lavaaaaa
I started this about five years ago, when I was working at the Art Store. Five years, dude, and I haven’t finished it.
What was the concept behind it? Well… I guess I just wanted to make a cool lampshade. I had recently read a small book on sacred geometry, and thought maybe I could make it in one of the elemental shapes. The art store also had these rolls of fine metal mesh, and I badly wanted to make something out of copper wire. It also had this reeeally hot-lookin paper with copper-colored flakes in it, so that all came together into an idea for a shape that, when lit, would look like a ball of molten lava, like the primordial earth.
You know, I didn’t even think about the 20-sided die when I chose an icosahedron, haha.
But yeah, the process of making has been very… slow… I probably haven’t done anything on it in a couple years 
I don’t even know how much I value it anymore, but it would be such a shame not to finish, because it’s almost done but for applying a couple more sides of paper and wiring it to stick on a hanging-cord lamp. And I know it will be so cool once it’s lit…
Oh, fine, I’ll finish it and take it with me.

Take It or Leave It? Take It, as long as it’s finished
