apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

While I like the glass bulbs, I think the twine is way too sturdy. The glass looks like soap bubbles, lighter than air, and the rest of the chandelier should reflect that, not clash with it.

is there a way to change the bulbs if they burn out?

I made this for my dinning room this summer. I had been looking for a pendent to fit my modern living room/ dinning room. This fit my budget and taste. It actually cost me about $60 to do the project. It took about 2 hours to put together and carefully install. I let my husband, who has macramé talent finish the main cord hanging from the ceiling. I am still pleased with the results.

linbo: The bulbs are super easy to change, a porcelain sockets is found each cluster of all of the bubbles, where you just screw a decorative round light bulb.

I love this. What does it look like at the top (attached to ceiling)? Just a regular fixture attachment that is hardwired?

The link to PDF doesn't work, does someone have it? \

That's very cool, it reminds me of a gorgeous installation for the Venice Biennial in 2003. I wish I could remember the artists name, but I took a photo at the time:

I've been saving around 6' of silver cord from Apple store bags that I may use on this instead of the twine, or maybe I'll try to find something at the craft store to give it a more glamorous feel.
