Crane light

When we set about decorating Ivy's bedroom I had this idea of a mobile/light thing!  I really wasn't sure what I wanted but knew I wanted to use maps (as we all know I am obsessed) and loved the idea of origami, so it seemed the logical idea to combine the two!  

I commissioned a load of cranes made out of maps and the odd bit of purple paper to tie the light into the room as a whole.

I then, using thin white thread added them to a plain paper shade from ikea.

I added them at different lengths to add to the effect, and love how they sway in the breeze.  It was a fairly easy, but beautifully effective make which I am delighted with.
