Hallway light

 This is the light we can turn on and off from three places. We were looking for a cool sconce light for a while, but couldn't find a thing that grab our mind. So I decided to make it by myself.
この2階廊下の電気は三カ所から操作できる実は割と重要なライト。いいのがないかいろいろと探してみた物の、グッとくる物は見つからず。ようやく重い腰を上げて、自分で作ることにした。

I made a shape with clay, then cover it with resin. After the resin get dry, wet the clay and take them out. I have used resin for my work. I thought it would be a pretty simple project.
...However, there were thousands of walls that break my courage. It will be too long and too boring to blah blah explain what I had go throgh. So I won't. 
粘土で形を作り、樹脂を塗り、樹脂が固まったらもう一度粘土を柔らかくして型から外す。何度か作品作りでやったことがあるし、小さめの簡単なプロジェクト、の予定だったのに。やはり予定は未定、かくかくしかじか、やる気をくじかれてはもしかしてまだいけるかも、、、の繰り返し。


 Anyway, this is the hallway that connect our movie room to our master bed room/ Josh's studio space. Often when we are watching movie, he want to pause it, and run into the studio to write down his ideas before it fades. So I thought it would be nice to have a eureka moment light hare. After all light make every thing magical and beautiful. Finally I like it.
それはさておき、この廊下はジョッシュの作業場とムービールームを結ぶ廊下。よく映画を見ている途中に「いいこと思いついたから、ちょっと映画止めて。」と言い、いそいそとアイデアを書き留めに行く。そんな状況でもよく使う電気なのでユリイカランプがぴったしのところ。やっぱり光があるといろんな物がマジカルに見えて、いい!
