Forest Lantern by Kerstin

 Hello everyone!

 Today, I am presenting a new lantern project. 

This simple model features open rectangular apertures made of birch wood, 

designed to match a forest theme. 

I glued perspex sheets onto three sides, leaving the fourth open

 so that a simple electric tea light can be placed inside. 

 

To decorate the lantern, I added a few filigree MDF parts, 

dividing them into different sections and gluing them on individually.

 As the original colour of the MDF parts contrasted well with the light birch wood tone, 

I did not change their colour.

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.
