Create an Artsy Lamp Using Unwanted 35mm Negatives filmlamp

Claire Chauvin over at Poopscape has a fun project for those of you who have useless 35mm negatives that are lying around and waiting to be tossed. All you need is a cheap and simple lamp (Chauvin used a $7 Ikea Grönö lamp) and some glue (e.g. Mod Podge). Carefully glue the strips onto the lamp and you’ll have yourself a unique, personalized lamp that’ll liven up any room in your house!

    Wow, what an amazing idea! Well, I’ll be stopping by IKEA this week, that’s for sure!

    For real photo geeks I suggest you selenium tone the negatives first. Otherwise they will turn strange brown shades (no pun intended) and fade in a few months. You probably should use some sort of scrapbooking or photo glue too.

    Actually, they haven’t yet! I’ve had one for 3 years now and it gets regular use. No browning at all.

    That site is dead – does anyone know how to do this? I want to do this.
