What should I know about making Rice Paper light fixtures?
So, I've got all my supplies, and I even have my process. That's when I realized I didn't do much research O_o
I've installed lights high along two parallel walls in my room.
I've bought concrete re-mesh (sorta like re-bar, but very thin, and sold in grided sheets), and have cut it into 7x1 foot strips. (The re-mesh is made of squares that are 6 inches by 6 inches.)
I'm going to wire-brush the re-mesh so that it shines, then spray with with a matte finish to keep it from rusting.
Then I will glue rice paper strips to the back of the re-mesh, and mount it onto my wall and ceiling lengthwise, creating 2 long strips of rice paper fixtures, backlit by the lights.
That's the whole project! I just remembered that my windows sometimes fog up when I take a shower with the door open. Will this humidity adversely affect the rice paper? Should I spray it with the matte finish as well?
Any suggestions?
Moisture will most definitely affect the paper, especially the mastic. Check with your local craft shops and ask about an impervious glue or mastic that is not affected by moisture. As a side note, the mastic must also not change color with age or you will be redoing the project in a few years.
Sounds like a great project. Carol Duval had a similar project on the Homes and Gardens show a few years ago on rice paper lamp shades. I'll bet its still available if you do a search.
