Art of Making Ceramic Wall Sconces

The art of pottery making is something which I always wish to be knowledgeable about. However, unlike Mathematics, English or Science, it is something which can only be learned by years of practice and dedication. It also requires a lot of patience. And just like a famous saying goes, “art is caught, not taught”.  It is a gift which no one can ever steal. 

When I was little I used to feel envious of my best friend who is good in pottery making. She is not only intelligent but she is also very good in making something nice out of her hands. She paints and draws like a pro. I also know how to paint and draw but my work was never as good as hers. She also has a green thumb which means that she is very good in growing plants. Of all the plants I tried to grow, only a few barely survived. She also tried teaching me how to make a small clay pot but what is suppose to look like a clay pot appears like a small lump of clay shaped to look like a small box. The frustration was great and I know I should not feel envious of whatever gifts she has. It is a good thing we grew up and I began to accept whatever gifts I had. However, it is for that reason why I began collecting ceramic items from artsy ceramic interior wall sconces to flowering pots.

The ceramic pendant lights and sconces never fail to impress me. These lighting designs go well with any interior decoration. It gives any room in the house an elegant look especially the 9 inched Contemporary Ribbon Wall Sconces which adorn the hallway going to our bedroom upstairs. And of course the star themed ceramic wall lights and ceiling lights still bring a magical atmosphere not only in the bedroom of my niece but our bedrooms too.

Good Housekeeping For A Healthy Living

Keeping our house spic and span inside out all the time is something which we all want to achieve. However, most of us are having difficulty in making this happen. We often say that we have no time to get it done or we just pay someone to do it for us. Well, it is quite practical to just pay someone to get the job done especially when we are too busy to do anything. But then again, no one else knows our house more than we do. Sure, hired people will do whatever they are told to do. However, there are really some accessories inside our house which we need to clean for our selves especially our valued possessions which require special instructions or care such as ceramic lighting, antique furniture and vases. 

If I was not instructed when I first asked about the ceramic table lamps and bedroom lighting, I would have just cleaned the accumulated dust off and markings with a liquid cleaner. However, according to the good people of the online shop where I purchased the ceramic lighting fixture, using a liquid cleaner will damage the product. It will be absorbed by the white ceramic ware and will worsen whatever markings or smudges it has. A dry cloth is enough to clean the dust off. If there are any markings on the ceramic, using a medium P150 grit sandpaper which is normally use in sanding of bare wood will do the job. 

We all wish a clean environment for our family and it should start from home. Good housekeeping must be observed by every family member.  We should always see to it that every corner and every part of our house is properly cleaned to avoid pests from making our home their home as well.

Using LED For Ceramic Lighting To Fight Global Warming

The plea to stop global warming is not something we just can’t ignore for it will affect us all. People who want to make a change for the betterment of this planet gather in a group to ensure that their cause is heard and acted upon. In response to this cause, government, non-government organizations, private sectors and business groups join hands in support of saving this planet.

Manufacturers of lighting fixtures and other manufacturing companies are among the business groups that support the fight against global warming. They ensure that the materials used in producing lighting fixtures such as ceiling lights, exterior wall lights, sconce lights and the likes are natural or organic such as earthenware clay. They also encourage the use of LED (light emitting diode) lamps and CFL (compact florescent light) because these types of light bulbs are energy savers compared to incandescent light. In addition, more citizens especially parents are becoming environment friendly as well. Surely, any parent wants to provide a safe place for their children and their children’s children in their growing up years. For this reason, they ensure that everything inside their home is child friendly or safe such as the children’s lighting, wall paint, and even their toys. Everything should be made from organic and non-biodegradable materials. It should also be lead-free. Moreover, organic food is most likely served on the table which more often than not will probably create a dispute between parents and their kids.

The battle against global warming should not be taken for granted. We should make it our business otherwise we should prepare ourselves with more acts of nature such as Typhoon Haiyan which had not only destroyed livelihood, building infrastructures but had taken thousands of lives in the Philippines. We all know that this is not going to be the last.

Ceramic Ceiling Lights For The Environment Friendly

These days, people are concerned about going back to the basic. Some shopping malls promote the use of paper bags or reusable bags instead of using plastic bags. People are more aware that organic products or biodegradable products are healthier and environment friendly. Some manufactures have even developed or produced edible food packaging which is good news to everyone who is concerned in making this place free from pollution. There are also some manufacturers of lighting fixtures who have produced lamps out of clay.

Ceramic ceiling lights, bathroom lights and pendant lights are a few of the lighting fixtures made out of clay which are carefully and intricately handcrafted by the skilled artisans to suit the demands of customers who wants everything natural as much as possible. This is perfect for environment friendly individuals who do not only pay attention to the designs but the materials use as well. Its natural beauty and design will blend well anywhere you install it. This ceramic lighting can also create an elegant and cozy ambiance to any room it is installed. In addition, this naturally made lighting fixture can be customized as per customer request. Ceramic lights normally come in white hue but for those who want something different; this lighting fixture can be painted using latex paint or acrylic paint to give it a different color. I prefer the milky white color not only because it is natural but because white can blend perfectly in any wall paints. Moreover, environmentalist will love this lighting fixture even more since it uses compact fluorescent lamp or CFL which is well known for its energy saving features.

Going back to the basic will greatly help our environment in its healing process. We have a long way to go. Using natural products such as ceramic ceiling lights and other organic products is just the one of the hundred milestones which we need accomplish for the change we have been craving for.
