because this is kind of blowing up my itty bitty instagram, im reposting this here! this is the umbra staff i made for @projectivepearl one of mt FAVORITE PEOPLE EVER!
Took a standard navy blue umbrella and sawed the hook off the end, then used some super stiff cardboard tubes + thick wire for the core + EVA foam rolled up for the new hook and covered it with Worbla which I also used for the end and scored with a knife for the wood grain look. Painted the umbrella with acrylics mixed with fabric medium (put that painful nod to Lup on the inside of the band that holds the umbrella closed), had a friend help me rewire the blue LED string that I just wrapped around the canvas supports. Top LED is an inexpensive screw on type and the top is hollow so you can remove the light entirely/change out the batteries.
