Unique Chandeliers!

Chandelier:
a decorative, sometimes ornate,
light fixture suspended from a ceiling,
usually having branched supports for a number of lights.

If you know me very well,
you know I love chandeliers!

I have a room full of chandeliers and parts.
I can envision almost anything as
a lamp,light or chandelier.

However, there are some people
who have created chandeliers
out of strange items...
some pretty cool...
some just a little too bizarre!
Yep, there is such a thing as
too bizarre for me!
I know...I know...
that is a shock!

Let's check out some
UNIQUE chandeliers.


Looks a little bit like a fishing basket,
doesn't it?
Yes, I have made a light from
a fishing basket!

However, this chandelier is made
from paper clips!


Does your neighbor have a piece of junk
vehicle parked in front of your house?

Surprise your neighbor
with this bright solution!


Pen down this idea!

Can you believe this chandelier
is made out of Bic Pens?



Got a teenager around?
Bet you have some of these things
around the house!

This chandelier made from CD cases!


An old bicycle tire and some bent
spoons team up with some cool junk
to create a cool chandelier!


If you have as many kitchen glasses
as I do, you could have one of
these babies!


A few forks...
a pie pan...
cookin' up a cool light!

I really like this silverware chandelier
and, yes, I will probably make one!


Who knew that wooden and plastic
clothes hangers could be used in
such creative ways?


After your jungle themed party,
collect all the discarded plastic monkeys,
go bananas and make this creation!


Ever wonder what to do with those
left over, used party poppers?


An artist created this piece of art
from items washed up on the beach!


You have probably seen this one before,
but who can feature strange chandeliers
without showing this beautiful
Gummi Bear creation?


This may look like a chandelier
made of roosters...
but look again!
Those are white rats!
Yikes!


For all you collectors of those dang,
scary doll heads...
knock yourselves out making
these spooky lights!


Toothpick, anyone?


I saved the three most BIZARRE
chandeliers for last!

Ready?


This lacy creation is made entirely of...

hot glue!


And this one is made of...
tampons!


This next one is not for the weak
or easily frightened...
Oh, my!

Warning Signs...

"But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun."

No, no, it isn't!
Look again, Romeo...
it is Jenny Matlock!

"It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!"

Well, tell her, Romeo...
tell her!

"She speaks yet she says nothing; what of that?"

She is probably dumbstruck...
poor woman!

"See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek! "

Keep your hands off of Jenny's cheeks!
I am telling you that her husband and
grandkids would not like that!
No touching!

"When he bestrides the lazy puffing clouds
And sails upon the bosom of the air."

No way, buddy!
Don't even start thinking
about Jenny's bosom!
That is way off limits!

"Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?"

Romeo, Saturday Centus is not about
listening or speaking...
it is about writing!
You need to write!

"I take thee at thy word."

Well, I hope you do, Buster!
Now write!

"I do not know not how to tell thee who I am"

We really don't need to know
who you are!
You can even use a fake name here!
Oh, I've got a good one for you!
How about Tybalt?
What? You don't like that name?
Whatever.

"Had I it written, I would tear the word."

Well, after I read it, I might tear it too!
No, I was just kidding...
we don't judge here.
Jenny is very gentle!

"O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?"

Read my lips...
Jenny is taken!
However, you can get satisfied
by reading all this wonderful stories!

"Hence will I to my ghostly sire's close cell,
His help to crave, and my dear hap to tell."

Thank goodness!
Now please join me
at Jenny Matlock's
Saturday Centus!

It is a themed writing meme.
Each Saturday, Ms. Matlock will give
a writing prompt.
Your assignment...
if you choose to accept it...
is to write a 100 word story.
Yes, 100 words or less...
not including the "prompt words".
Oh, and the prompt words can
be used anywhere in your story!

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
The writing prompt is good for the entire week,
so you can join in at any time!

THIS WEEK'S PROMPT:

Driving six hours is a long time on the road. Six hours spent singing car-aoke and taking in the picturesque scenery, but mostly reminiscing about the good times. But those days were long gone and my mind was in a different place now. Or was it? My pulse quickened as I passed the road sign which read "Medford 27 miles."


So here is my contribution

Driving six hours is a long time on the road.
Six hours spent
singing car-aoke and
taking
in the picturesque scenery, but
mostly reminiscing
about the good times.
But those days were
long gone and my mind was in a different place now.
Or was it?
My pulse quickened as I passed the road
sign which read
"Medford 27 miles."

Medford was the center of my universe.

We lived, loved and planted roots there. Our
towheaded children ran
barefoot through
dirt roads
while bravely riding the skirt tails of dust devils
which whirled through the
open arms of
Medford's grasp.

We had been together since the beginning. I couldn't
remember life without
him.
We began as two and
ended
up as a big, loving family.

Then she came along and changed everything.

I had dreamed of this moment for three long years.
I patted the gun nestled
in my lap.

I glanced up.

The road sign read "Hell 2 miles."
