Drumstick Chandelier

The first chandelier was created as part of a window display that was going to be up during New Year's Eve in Times Square (NYC), however the store changed their mind and went in another direction. At this point the project took on a life of its own and began Elyse's interest in creating more from music scrap. The first chandelier was such a success she has been commissioned to design and build them by production designers, musicians, record labels, museums, and individuals. Sticks were donated by bands such as Guns and Roses, The Foo Fighters, Anthrax, Stun, Chapter 7, Murder in Memphis, Gwar, The Save CBGB's Festival, and others.
