leaves

This lighting project culminated our full second-floor remodel.

I laser-cut the shapes of leaves and ferns from 1/8" baltic birch ply, clearcoated them with spray enamel, and attached them with wire to a lightweight metal framework hung from the ridge beam, shielding but not covering the LED strip lights.

I also fabbed a pendant fixture (from more laser-cut birch and a bunch of electrical parts) and hung it from the light receptacle in the hallway outside the bedroom.

It didn't turn out too badly, and my wife keeps appreciating it, so I guess we'll keep it.
