Today I finished rewiring the second floor, so the ryokan is back together again except for the parts of the stairs that have to be removed every time I take it apart. I also made another light for the top floor, put a nano chip into the crooked little floor lamp I built last winter, started making lamps to go on either side of the portico, and started making battery boxes to go on the back of the ryokan.
This is a closeup of the lamp I made for the kitchen.
This is the one in the reception room.
Here is the one in the spa.
This is the a photo of all the lights lit, and the photo below is a closeup of the two floors that are wired. I definitely need to tone down the light in the phonebooth, but that will be easy. All you need to do with LEDs is to paint them with a little acrylic paint! I love the fact that they don't get hot, so they can be used anywhere.
I still haven't found the battery connector thing for the third floor lights though. :-(
Love the way the Toro lamp came out. I hadn't thought of getting hold of super tiny LEDs. You're making great progress!! I really like the lampshades too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peggy,I got the lights from the same place as you got yours. They are the LED nano chips in Pico size. It makes it so easy to wire things that are already assembled! They come in both 9 volt and 3 volt.
ReplyDeleteAll so realistic! Are these the ones you made with your die cutting machine?
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth, yes, they are! They are actually really heavy metallic card stock. They were a lot easier than making lights with tiny sticks of wood!!!
DeleteI have a Spellbinders Grand Calibur, but I want to get their platinum machine so I will be able to cut thin metal and balsa wood.
