Description
Steel.thought i would mix it up a bit more. my friends and i made this "cocoon" for a roof deck outdoor lighting showroom. it was a blast. there is ivy covering it now. you can sit inside and look through the skylight. i can't wait until i can do some more big stuff.

Ain't that always the way... something for nothing.... the number of people who think they deserve a discount just because they've met you and don't think artists/artisans/desighers are "real" workers.... grrrr....

Hello gain you!
you're kidding me!
......uh, duh!
(love your very civilized use of the word "declined" for me it would have been declining every tense of certain latin verbs... 
Good luck with everything and my very best wishes to you and yours,
bye for now sir,
Peter.

This is wonderful, I love it.
As daunting a project as it would be on a large scale, it would interesting to do many of these in different locations or even made of different materials. Just to see how the form and the experience of being in it could be played with.

That's going to look so cool when the ivy grows over most of it! Not that it doesn't look great already.

thanks. by the time spring is over, it should be well on its way. check out [link] and [link] to see a couple shots from parties they had. the roof deck is a showroom for outdoor lighting (the store's name is lightology), and they use it for special events. i'm trying to get back into doing more of this kinda thing.

thanks, it's even better now. the steel has rusted nicely, and the ivy has grown in. if you're ever in chicago, it's on the roof deck showroom of lightology (a high end lighting store).
