Trish and Maureen at Domestic Construction recycle old tea cups into single or clustered light fixtures. Put some of the new tiny CFL or LED bulbs into them to be really green! ::Domestic Construction via ::Notcot

I'd like this to have CFL bulbs but other than that, this is pretty cool.
Incandescent, eh?
Well, Try cutting the bottom of one of these cups, it is not easy.
I had to ease off 1/8" off of a porcelian sink, and oh my god even with diamond pads and a constant stream of water it took quite a while. I learned after that to never make concrete countertops for an ikea vanity.
Great bit of recycling - hat tip to Trish and Maureen.
