Recycled trace ‘Bumwad’ used to create the Sketchlight Pendant – By Graypants designers.


sketch 011-593x916

The guys over at graypants have come up with a clever use for all the left over trace paper that architects, engineers and designers fly though –

they call it the “sketchlight pendant”

Each ‘sketchlight pendant’ is totally unique – and are available for sale at the Graypants website here.

Bumwad;

This is the name given to thin transparent tracing paper used by architects, engineers and others, mostly for sketching and overlaying.
I overlaid the lighting plan with a piece of bumwad and sketched on the lighting fixtures. Then I overlaid this on the ductwork drawing and saw where interferences occurred.

“yes – we’re talking about the trace paper version here, and we knew there had to be better home for our old process drawings than overstuffed file drawers and every other nook and cranny around our desks we could find. each sketchlight™ pendant is a unique handmade representation of our creative process”

    If somebody like Julia Roberts or Natalie Portman had an individual blog where they uploaded pictures of their trips or something, would you still take them seriously as actors? Do you think celebs with personal blogs are much less qualified as well as taken much less seriously than those who do not? In addition, would you see their blog sites to see what they depend on?.

    Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids.
    I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed
    the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it
    pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is

  32. Thanks for the distinct tips discussed on this site. I have observed that many insurers offer consumers generous discounts if they elect to insure more and more cars with them. A significant quantity of households own several motor vehicles these days, specially those with mature teenage young children still residing at home, as well as the savings in policies can certainly soon increase. So it makes sense to look for a good deal.
