Braille lotus lamp
Description
A hand folded origami lotus. The paper was taken from some old Welsh-language braille books that were going to be thrown away - so I rescued them.
The lotus is about 7.5 inches / 19.5 cm across and stands about 3 inches / 8cm tall.
It comes with a free battery-operated flickering tea light (batteries included!)
I stock two different styles, one has more petals and one has a double layer of leaves - please let me know which one you would like, or I'll just pick one at random.
Inspiration
I love making things out of paper from old books, and after I learned how to fold an origami lotus flower, I thought it would make a pretty little lamp. I have them dotted all over my house, and when I have parties, I have them on every other step of the stairs.
Braille is so beautiful and tactile, I thought lotus lamps made of old braille would be cool. They turned out really delicate and lovely. I've made some for my bedroom, where they look lovely against my duck egg blue walls.
I only ever cut up damaged books!
