Lmao…I’m laughing so hard. Maybe when all the fires calm down, I’ll try to head up there…but by that time, I might need to rent an SUV or something, I don’t have confidence my car will survive driving through snow. I still have not toured the west coast, or the upper middle of the country. Oregon and Washington are on my list of places to see though.

Nice, I could try that. Maybe I’ll get one for my next try. I wanted to use a colorful picture, but when I asked my neighbor for a photo, the ones she sent were all pastel-y and drained of color.
I went to Ikea and bought a hanging lamp type fixture that I thought would work, but it ended up being too bulky, and my measurements were 1/32" off, which I realised after I put it together, so it didn’t fit at all and I wasn’t in the mood to dremel it. So I cannabalized another lamp (running out of spare lamps at this point), and just screwed that fixture on from the inside.
Afterwards, I realised white bulbs diffuse the light so much that it doesn’t cast appropriate shadows. So I removed the clear bulb from my refrigerator, and viola! Nice shadows…but it’s too bright at 40W, so I’m thinking a 25W clear bulb…plus, I really needed the fridge light, probably the only thing that keeps me from drinking the hot sauce when I’m half asleep in the morning.

Thanks! That’s one lamp though, all four sides are different, so I was just trying to show the different angles. Studlio Ghibli just released 500 images they said:
“* Please feel free to use the images within the bounds of common sense.”
They are so colorful, I might try to see how well that sublimates to see if the colors stand out a lot when backlit.
The lantern is lovely. I’m sure it will be treasured. A fabulous assortment of earrings!
I delivered it last night. She loved it.

Can I ask what kind of black paint you are using? Halloween is coming up and I recently made black earrings but I don’t like the finish.
I don’t use paint. When it comes to paint and glue, I am an absolute mess. Above, I use proof grade black acrylic for the cats on the moons. And the rest I used 1/16" 2-color laser able plastic, black on the top layer, silver on the bottom. Then I just engraved the black away.
