The OA auction inspired me to turn an ETR sipper cup into a globe light:

The round reed is from caning.com (conveniently just across the Bay in Berkeley). I used boiling water and a pot to fix the reed to the right radius, a pin vice to drill holes and then and bamboo skewers to make the hoops and attach the ribs to the top and bottom. Hot glue to hold things together temporarily, then chair caning to bind it all together. Finished with amber shellac.
