I made a fairy jar lantern and it made me think about the vessels we use to hold and nurture light so that it always looks its best. I love lamps and lanterns and I always think of the phrase “naked light” and how we “dress” light to make it even more beautiful.
I’m a bit over candles at the minute. Maybe because summer is on its way but also because they can end up looking a bit messy. I have two green glass lanterns that used to contain candles but I wanted to do something different with them. I experimented with a few different ideas but, in the end, made them into fairy light lanterns.
Nothing though can compare with the ornate beauty of a Victorian oil lamp. Shapely as a corseted female form.
