Do It Yourself: Geeky Homemade Lamp
This is a homemade lamp designed by Anonymity Blaze by replacing an old floor lamp's panels with ones that've been stenciled/sketched with a bunch of pictures of geeky-ass thangs. COULD'VE USED A DINO I'M JUST SAYIN'.
So, today's crafty post. I had this floor lamp that I loved very much, but some of the panels had been damaged over the years, so I decided to cut all the panels out, replace the ones that were too badly ripped and salvage the ones that weren't. Maybe I'd add some small embellishments, I thought. Then it turned into an epic stencil project that took up all my crafts-for-me time throughout January and February.
There's several more pictures after the jump showing it from all sides, but you'll need to peep her blog for some real nice closeups. Geez, way to make my lamp look like trash. "GW, that's not a lamp, that's a bare lightbulb dangling from a coat hanger." Haha, you like that, do you? You should see my bedside one! "That's your bedside lamp? It looks like a box of tissues in a wastebasket." *produces lighter from pocket* Hold up -- let me turn it on.

Want to build your own giant Atari 2600 controller lamp? No problem -- all it takes is some power tools, a shit-ton of skill, more patience than my girlfriend, and a month of unemployment. It'll totally be worth it though, right? No, it won't be. And yours will probably loo... / Continue →

This is a giant scrap metal lamp made to look like an angler fish by artist and Etsy seller Justin LaDoux. He's selling it for $8,000. For reference, I paid $6 for my last lamp from the thrift store and supplied my own lampshade. It's a popcorn bucket. When the bulb gets ho... / Continue →
