What a great idea. There are some lovely teacups out there just waiting to be turned into a lovely light fixture.

Here's another great group that does fantastic work recycling old wares.; Forkometry

There's also a great store in the Denver airport that features an artist that does great hanging lights with old forks, spoons, creamers, and teapots. Do any of our Colorado folk know the place?

These are surprisingly lovely and tasteful, considering they are made of kitchen paraphernalia.

These are so much fun! They remind me of Francois Legault fixtures with a little more whimsy.

I would LOVE to do this with my antique teacups and various finds!

The reason I'm Not a chandelier-kinda-guy is that most do Not look like these! Very clever.
