J Schatz Happening Curtains

Okay, J Schatz. Your happening curtains are hot, but way off our decorative curtain radar ($1250!). Because we love the look, the colors, and the idea, we think this is a great inspiration for finding a way to construct a similar "curtain."

We would also like to see varying sizes since the potential uses for this piece are so widespread. These happening curtains are only 48" x 30", but we'd really love to see it BIG. These original handcrafted curtains are made from ceramic tiles hung from a stainless steel framework, but there's nothing to say your dots have to be ceramic. Ideas??

i have been saving AOL and other CD-Roms that come in the mail for JUST this purpose. i also save all the CDs that i mess up when making mixes for friends. i spray paint the label side and leave the data side with its rainbow effect. you could cover the CD with felt or vintage wallpaper too for variety. i actually turned my ceiling fan into a mobile using matte white painted CDs. of course i didn't turn the fan on . . . that would've been a disaster.

This would be great with thick felt! Soft, weighty and colorful! Aetna Felt, http://www.aetnafelt.com, has a new line of 3mm and 5mm thick felt in over 20 colors that would look fantastic. The felt isn't cheap, but compared to the $1250 for this curtain, it is very affordable. They have a 1 yard minimum order per color, so you'd also need to have aneed for either more than one curtain or a pretty large one.
