Handmade mulberry paper was cut into billowing shapes and arranged above a crown molding.
LED strips (one warm white and the other RGB) were hidden in the crown molding to create cove lighting.
The textured paper makes the light more interesting with shapes and shadows.
The LEDs can be animated with ever-changing patterns. Rainbows of varying sizes are a favorite.
With a single rainbow, the colors change gradually around the corners of the room.
This project was inspired by the rainbow-colored steam rising from Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone.
