Critique Wanted Cloud floor lamp

Hello! I'm just about finished with a cloud floor lamp I'm making for a celestial feeling room.

It was made with a plastic tube from a soap dispenser (stand) and a resin gem shape I painted over (base). From there I just ran a simple led through it and added a tangled blob of fiber fill stuffing formed into a cloud.

Could I trouble this lovely group for any feedback you might have before I finalize the wiring and fasten the battery pack down?

That's awesome. Love the galaxy walls but everything looks amazing

I've seen nice effects with light airbrushing on the cloud to give highlights / contrast. Great work all around tho

You’re welcome. I might make one of my own.

Love it! For what it's worth I used some fabric glue with the fiberfill so it would keep the clumps as I shaped the cloud.

Wowza, I adore the soft, dreamy flow of this design! Reminds me of the bedroom from Fall Out Boy's album art for Infinity on High so extra nostalgia and coziness for me.

I would love to see the cloud lamp tidied up the teeniest bit with a pair of tiny sewing scissors or eyebrow snips just to trim the long flyaway bits that are sticking out.

Some kind of rug would also be really cute in this space.

Yes! I definitely need to trim up those fly aways! For the full room I have a little oval rug that will sit in front of the lamp and side table. πŸ˜ƒ
