Lantern - On a frosty morning

 

 Hello everyone!

 

 Have you discovered the new lantern kit here ???


I love lanterns that spread warmth and light, 

especially during the dark season.

Today the version with gothic windows. 

I chose the birch wood version with perspex

 and added some MDF parts. 

I treated the perspex windows with frost spray, which creates

 beautiful ice flowers and provides a magical atmosphere.

 When the electric tea light is lit, it looks like a sunrise on a frosty morning.

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 Creative Tip:

 

 The MDF parts were not painted but finished with white gesso

 using the dry brush technique. 

This creates a good contrast to the warm birch wood tone.

 The lantern was shaded only at the corners with liquid walnut ink.

 Thanks for stopping by...until next lantern 😀!

  2. I used a white Ice Flower Spray, be patient during the drying process, preferably overnight.
