I made another lamp; this time, out of an empty wine bottle.
Similar design and build as the first one, made with leftover gravel. The lampshade is the same color and fabric, so they're an matching set!
Someday I'll probably make third one and give it away.
Happy Holidays everyone!
This is a 3D animation I made for my holiday cards. Put on your 3D Glasses and be amazed!

This past week I spent much of my time writing the documentation for my latest project, Camera-3D. This is an open source library for Processing. It will enable artists and creative technologists to transform their sketches into 3D anaglyphs and experiment with other 3D effects.
Once I finish the examples this will be ready to go live. I am so excited!
I made a lamp out of an empty olive oil bottle.
After removing the label and cleaning it out, I drilled a hole near the bottom using diamond drill bits and a press drill. The electric cord runs through the center of the bottle up to the opening on top.
The bottle is filled with fish tank gravel. It was very hard getting it in the bottle! I tried using a funnel but it kept getting clogged. Eventually I settled on dumping it in the mouth by hand with the bottle in a large bin to catch the many rock pieces that did not go inside. This took some time.
The mauve lamp shade is made of silk. I think it matches the gravel quite well.
I also made that coaster sitting on the nightstand. That was a long time ago though.
I added my Ray Tracing artwork and figure drawing sketches to the galleries. All of it is art from years ago that I wanted to post and share.
My Mouse Tracings project has been added to the projects page. I collected data on keyboard and mouse activity for many months and used the data to create colorful images. Go to the gallery to see the endless beauty of data and the project page to learn how they were made.
