apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Ingenious idea... functional and artistic!

Love this! Am still in the process of redecorating and this site is an inspiration.

Her work is gorgeous & great slideshow. I'm trying to produce something similar as the embedded epoxy, in my own home, to use as a kitchen backsplash (sadly I can't afford the pro versions) and I'd like to see a DIY version featured on AT... is that possible?

Rucy,

From the artist's website:

"Epoxy polymer is a toxic material upon application. Its use requires the artist to wear a fume mask, eye protection, boots, barrier creams (on any potentially exposed skin), latex gloves and disposable clothing."

So, an AT DIY is probably not a good idea.

Gorgeous! Just how is this thing mounted?

Good Stuff! This is one of the best projects I've seen so far on this site. Very creative....

I mounted the piece using opposite-facing, standard "L" brackets. The glass rests on small pieces of painted oak (a hard, durable wood), which provides spacing between the ceiling and railing.

I have since noticed that public bathroom stall hardware would have also worked.

peter,
it might be too late, but how great would it be to paint that hardware a white that matches the walls?! A floating piece...
