Alternative cardboard light shades.
A couple of shades from this past week -- different ideas about geometry for snowflakes. Quite certain I need to explore a few more ideas before moving forward. I like the varying ideas coming out, though.

Cardboard shades for lights.
Working on a cheaper product idea, using cardboard, instead of other materials...makes it more convenient than having to use separate suspension supports when using heavier materials, too.
Took about 2 hours while at Starbucks on Tuesday, to design and model it...Add another 2 hours to add the context then render it.
Based on double-depth cardboard panels (see Ponoko). The edge of the cardboard is a texture grabbed from online, edited and then added to the edges of the 3D model in SketchUp. I have this idea that the vertical panels are interchangeable with 3 variations (to start with), so that no two snowflakes are alike, if so desired.
One could do a whole ceiling of replaceable shades for a pop-up store for the holidays, if so desired.
