Also, if you live in New York, you can buy a pre-cut Bright Idea Shade Kit at the Eyebeam Bookstore.
Eyebeam
540 W. 21st St.
New York, NY 10011
These are from a small production run made by us in the R&D Lab to help get the word out.

I appreciate the integrity of the designers of the Bright Idea Shade to distribute the plans and instructions free, in the spirit of openness, and also in the spirit of avoiding contributing to the morass of manufactured "stuff" piled on big box shelves. Homemade objects rule.

now you have to forward it on to everyone so that it will make its way to someone at Target, or Ikea, or WalMart and you *will* be able to buy them retail.
