this PROJECT BEGAN AS A SCUPTURE OF JUST SPONGEBOB BUT TURNED INTO A LAMP WHEN I FOUND A PIECE OF BAMBOO THAT I THOUGHT I COULD RUN THE WIRING THROUGH FOR THE BULB. tHIS PROJECT INCORPORATES A VARIETY OF MATERIALS. tHE BODY IS CONSTRUCTED ENTIRELY OUT OF WOOD WITH THE CLOTHES BEING REAL PIECES OF FABRIC. RESIN WAS USED TO ADD A SHINY TEXTURE TO THE EYES, MOUTH, AND SHOES. THE BASE IS COVERED WITH REAL SAND AND ROCKS AND TRIMMED WITH SOLID WOOD. THE TRUNK WAS ADDED TO PROVIDE STORAGE FOR VARIOUS ACCESSORIES SUCH AS HIS SPATULA. tHE ARMS ARE REMOVABLE AND ARE CONNECTED TO THE BODY WITH INBEDED MAGNETS. tHE BAMBOO COLUMN AND SHELL TOP WERE DESIGNED AS A REFERENCE TO THE KRUSTY KRAB SIGN FROM THE SHOW. tHE WIRING COMES OUT OF THE BACK OF THE BASE AND THE LIGHT IS CONTROLLED WITH A SIMPLE CORD SWITCH.
