I was very impressed with the thoroughness that Lindsey has gone to to demonstrate how she created this interesting paper bird chandelier with apparently 250 paper birds suspended on ribbons.
It’s a great and detailed article with many pics at the different stages of its build. She details what you need to buy – various metal rings and assorted tools and stationary – mostly the sort of stuff you’re likely to have and the rest is easy to get from a crafts store.
Thanks Lindsey

Does that title read I’m not joking , – well perhaps:
Chandeliers On your feet what would Prada do next?
Not wanting to put my foot in it, I couldn’t work out whether this was in taste or not. Perhaps I should leave it to my 16-year-old daughter to decide for me! I can hear her now saying, ” I must have one!” of course she’ll mean two.
So Prada have worked out how to:
Enlighten the load on your feet.
Perhaps this is crystal therapy to soothe your souls – sorry, I mean soles! – or do I?
I can’t say I go much on the ankle straps, they look more like the labels you find on patients in surgery wards.
Perhaps a bit more relevant are these other photos I found while browsing. I must work out how to include galleries as I’m building up a fair selection of unusual chandelier photos – that is, photos of unusual chandeliers! I wouldn’t call these hugely unusual but they’re interesting anyway.
This first one I thought to call it crystal cluster chandelier concept if you can think of any more alliterative adjectives, or words beginning with C to add to it – go ahead!
This seems a bit of a cross between a nocturnal Japanese rising Sun and one of those Starburst fireworks. So I’ll call it Starry night burst light.
I was recently inspired to change my desktop to some of the Hubble telescope photographs of distant galaxies. So this next one I shall call Indigo nebula.

This is more to remind me of the territory that I have covered that may be of use to others interested in discovering the possibilities of using WordPress as both a blog and as a CMS system. At present I envisage opening 4 separate blogs within directories of this chandelier-mall domain:
1. A principal actual “blog” for posting content (this one) – relating to chandeliers, lighting in general and more specifically eco-lighting.
In addition I will include at least three other blogs with provisional titles and functions as follows:
2. Lighting Discounts, Reviews and Savings – to include the latest offers and discounts from a variety of Internet lighting merchants together with tips on economising generally.
3. Reflections – to express some of my off topic thoughts, values, way of life and as a way to offer some of my hypnosis and Buddhist audio creations.
4. A CMS System to introduce the old site principal and information pages within the WordPress blog umbrella.
Themes
In addition I hope to introduce slightly modified themes for the major products/categories, which are envisage to be crystal, antler, Murano, contemporary and wrought iron chandeliers; and also for eco-lighting, as well as the lighting discounts and the reflections blogs. I also installed and played around a bit with the Gimp photo editor. After going through one tutorial I managed to produce a simple header, (using a plasma tool I think it was called) which is “very temporary”! – just a bit of fun really.
As far as themes are concerned, I have been dabbling with the Lotus Flower (hopefully the 3 column), Semioilogic, Classica to mention the three main ones.

So now exploring the Flowerily theme – needed to edit/delete the header text & header.php & footer.php – here is screenshot:
Plugins
This is also an area that needs quite careful consideration. I am presently using the Admin Menu, Adsense Integrator, Google Analyticator – this list is bound to grow.
I have presently spent up to 3 days trying to establish a good system for drop-down menus but have not yet managed that, so have put that aside; these include Pixopoint, Dtabs amongst others. It seems these systems provide little information and then expect you to pay to get the job done, slightly frustrating really!. If there’s anyone out there who reads this they are very welcome to get some input.
