Garden Pagoda

18 years ago

I kept throwing the base sections of various table lamps in my "salvage" pile after using the glass for other projects. Yesterday I had this brainstorm while cleaning up my work area. This garden pagoda is made from 6 table lamp bases, 5 glass jars, 6 old CD's, 1 section of a different lamp (for the top), and 1 finnel. What make this garden junk so neat is the way colors from the reflective sunlight bouncing off the CD's. I used a sand blaster to cut holes in the bottoms of the jars.

    That is WONDERFUL, Robert. What a great idea. I love how you designed this. By the way, not sure if you ever check over on Conversation side, but an APB was put out on you as we've really missed seeing your creations and hoped you were ok.

    hugs, Karen

    Who would have thunk it? The "feet" of the lamp bases almost look like the dragon heads you see in Asian pagodas. The colors on the CDs do look cool. Although I'm sure the picture isn't as pretty as it is in person.

    Have you come up with a use for the satellite dish yet?

    P.S. Good to see you back with your ingenious ideas!

    well i'll be darned! i was making a totem last night and needed something to stablize the glass in between. cd's....why didn't i think of that!

    That is a good mixture of products. Really like that.
    caroleena: just a thought, the cd may lose its coating outside in the weather between water and sun. The reflectors that I make with them barely make 2 summers and the GE II may make it hard to replace. Maybe a lip to a metal can would work as well.

    Veeerrry Nice!!! I too was wondering about what you've been up to!! I was excited cuz I thought I read Pergola..not pagoda!! I was wondering how and if you are making a pergola with your great score of a satalight dish!!! Jane

    YOu are amazing. The CDs are a fantastic idea. I am always looking for small mirrors, and the CDs would be perfect. Of course the pagoda itself is fantastic as usual. Keep creating and posting.

    Wow, I love all pagodas, and that you could "see" that in your mind and make it happen is wonderful. I just love it, (as I do all your work)!
