Thank you Skip. They do look quite dramatic with the backlighting. I liked them so much I made another set LOL I had another blank space on the ceiling so I just went for it. I had another piece of MDF and already had the template made so I figured this was a good time. I had considered selling this extra set but I made the mistake of tracking my time. With $55 in supplies and 5 hours invested, I would have needed to sell for at least $150 to be worth it. I wasn't sure I could sell for that. Plus at 4x4 feet and 35 lbs, I would have to sell local (San Diego) which would limit my market

I did this one a little different. No bamboo frame, no backlighting, and mounted diagonally instead of square. Because this one is mounted directly to the ceiling joists (instead of hanging on chains) I have more vertical clearance. I may hang an Asian inspired lamp from the center or 4 small ones from the corners.

I have been painting my ceiling dark brown. 40 feet done and 10 feet to go.
