TABLE LAMP VIII – FRACTAL BIO SPHERE
Lamp is made of senegalese calabash.
It was the first pattern inspired by fractals.
The white spaces are deeper layer of white wood which allows light to pass through it.
The base is finished off with linen string.
Diameter of the gourd is 23 cm, and lamp is 34 cm high

I love your work! I am fascinated by gourds ( i think they are beautiful items even before we carve them). I got so inspired by your work that I just ordered some dried gourds so that I can try my hand at lamp making too. Don't expect to see my work here any time soon though!

Oh woooow man, just wow man its....its intricate and yet its beautifully erm....well humble?....or simple shape? anyway its elegant :3

Erm well I also made some lamps made with wood and well not sure if you would like to talk about how to make something like this cause i do have some questions....if you dont mind i mean like the sphere how did you do it man O: it would really help i'm jsut starting to experiment on those effects but its hard x3

Please it would be an honor to discuss this type of work :3 if you want.....feel free to check out mine :3

Thank You :-)
Of course it's not a problem, if You have some questions just write. I will answer (maybe not for all ;-P).
But I think the best it just trying, practise and use Your own imagination and creativity. I didn't ask anyone how to do that just starting to do what was in my mind. Sometimes it's better to make some mistakes and learn on them :-)
So keep going and ask if You want :-)

Yeah i'm currently doing another lamp....it was a strange curve on one side so first i'm covering the surface with chopsticks and then i'll take them out after i glue them to see what shape the wood needs to be and then i'll jsut cut the piece =p

But things like that eath globe you did wow i mean i see it and looks as if its a solid piece.....which confuses me i dont see the joints....i guess what i want to ask how the hell do you do a sphere like that =p
