Recycled Lawnmower Lamps
Created From a lawnmower blade, gas stove burner top and tractor type lawn sprinkler wheel with hose nozzle finial. The shade is created from New Mexico license plates. The amount of rust varies from lamp to lamp and some of these lawnmower blades are quite colorful! Created by artist, Lane Patterson, who taught weaving, textile and interior design at Mankato State University (now MN State) in Minnesota.
$225.00 for the lamp and lampshade at Ostyn-Newman Furniture and Accessories

Get the hardware for your lamps for less by visiting a reuse store in your area. If your in NYC, try Re Builders Source. It is a new reuse home improvement center just 3 blocks away from the #6 trains’ 143 and 149th street stops. I am capable of getting the lighting circuits for less than 1 dollar from their electrical parts department. They also have many tiles, and 1 piece samples for making the ornamentation for the lamp itself. Each piece under $2.
