Post three is about how I start to build this pipe light up. the first step is shopping materials. Things on my list are metal water pipes, Homewerx filament light bulb. Looks really simple. But when i actually went in to home depot to get pipes, the price is much more expensive than my budget. So I changed my material getting PVC pipe instead. These type of pipes are white and made of plastic. my plan is the standard is metal. To create metal feeling, I bought flat black spray paint as well. than I went to Homewerx, the store selling the special light bulb. Unfortunately, they don't salt this light bulb anymore. After this store, I went to some other store searching for my light bulb as well. But i didn't get anything… Plan delayed.

My object is a floor lamp as decoration. The inspiration is from filament light bulbs. This type of light bulbs are using same design as Edison bulbs. There are also another type of light bulbs called incandescent bulb, which is the regular and modern one we see in nowadays. The difference is that filament bulb is not really bright, and won't hurt your eye, if you look at it directly. "'Edison' bulbs look different because instead of double-wrapping six feet of tungsten filament into a tight coil, they have the filament stretched out and visible, formed into scribbly lines or primitive shapes". This type of light still exist after more than a hundred years. In nowadays, filament bulbs become to vintage decoration elements.
