Stone Age Alaska
Jim and Micki Halloran collect attractive rocks from the mountain streams and beaches of Alaska while on camping trips. We also gather leaves and flowers from the forests and tundra of south-central Alaska. When we get home with their raw materials, they press and dry the plants. When the flowers and leaves are dry, Micki paints them for color permanence.
The rocks have bases cut on them so they can stand vertically. If the rock is large enough to become a lamp, it is drilled out for the wiring. After that the rock is cleaned, dried, and painted with a light coat of acrylic varnish. Then the electrical parts are installed according to the U.L. standards into the rock. The very last thing done to the lamp is to stick felt pads and to write information about the geology of the rock on the bottom.
Plant materials used in lampshades include birch paper, Gulf of Alaska seaweed, wild roses, ferns, and other indigenous leaves. The prepared vegetation and colorful artisan papers are artistically arranged on each shade where they are sandwiched under transparent tissue paper and acrylic glues.
