Lantern Project

*FINAL UPDATE 5/4/21* Its finished!. Unfortunately my side panels were the slightest bit too small and the lamp base won’t fit in completely 🙁 It would be tedious to re-cut all these panels and refinish them, so I am keeping it how it is for now, until I can get a smaller base! It looks…

Lantern Project: Jada’s Spring Collection

My lantern will also double as a purse. I hot glued wood in the middle to hide the light bulb. I’m going to make a handle and glue fake flowers and vines to the outside

Lantern Into the woods

Holla it’s Leona. I’m sorry if my Lantern design was uploaded a little late, I have been spending time on my SVG files and looking for the proper “box design”. Since there was no simple box design on MakerCase that I thought would be nice for the project, I was thinking of a lantern whose…

Michelle’s Lantern Design

I have a friend from Bangladesh that was telling me about how homesick she was feeling, so I wanted to create a light-box with traditional Bengali designs that would help her feel more at home. Artists Question: I’m planning on using wood for this piece, but I don’t know if i should cut out the…

I liked the rectangular box with the base that you could see poking out from the sides. I decided to use the design from boxes.py but have it taller to use as a nightstand light. I wanted to put flowers in the design from the movie Tangled, because this lantern project would work great with…

Lantern Design – Erica

For my Lantern I’m basing it off of the 3 PC’s and 1 main NPC from my current DND campaign (we’re playing Curse of Strahd). In Barovia the fortune tellers use Tarokka cards, similar to our Tarot cards, so I chose cards that seemed to best fit each character. I’m working to modify the actual…

For my lantern design I am planning on creating a candle holder. The candle holder will have 5 sides and will hopefully have the illusion that vines are wrapped around it. I plan of cutting out the vines then raster engraving the leaves. My question for you all is should I raster engrave the flowers…

Lantern Project: Tia Mehta

For my lantern design, I’m taking inspiration from the tesseract from the Marvel movies. The lantern will be a cube, with a tinier cube inside that has a blue light. I’m not sure how this will work yet, but hopefully I’ll figure it out. I want to make it the size of the tesseract from…

For my Lantern design, I’ve decided to create a shadowbox with cardstock paper. I chose to do more of a floral scene mixed with a partially mechanical and robotic look to it. I want the colors and shapes represent a balance between art and technology. I plan to make this a wall piece that’s about…

Alexander Breiling Preliminary Lantern Design

For my Lantern design I decided to try and see if I could do something interesting with the shape of the box so I looked up some kerf patterns to bend the wood that I’m going to be using for the roof. The rest will be cut out in a mostly box-like shape with an…

For my lantern design, I got inspired by brainstorming with Mandy. My design is a dissolving honeycomb pattern and I added 2 bees that are supposed to be on opposite sides (I need to fix it), and one bee on top! I intend to stain the wood a dark brown or black color, and then…

Lantern Design

Here is what I’m thinking of for my lantern! I took a lot of inspiration from the movie Spirited Away and wanted to test the limits of what could be considered a lantern. The idea originally came when I realized I could make an eight sided box and thought of the rectangular bath tokens from…

Lantern Design: Shane

This lantern gave me more trouble than I thought it would. I used thin cardboard I had lying around. I was still unsure how the duplicated LEDs would affect the projection so I decided to punch the holes one by one and see how it developed. I tried to super glue the cardboard shut, but…

For my lantern design I am creating a layered landscape of Atlantis, with a large shadow of a squid looming in the background. Much of my inspiration came from Hari and Deepti’s work. A piece I drew a lot from was their Nautilus sea scene. I have created the three main layers of my piece,…

Lantern Design – Emily

For my lantern design, I decided to do a Mamma Mia lantern. I was able to test cut the design on cardstock and saw some places that could use adjustment location wise because it cuts the piece out or interferes with the edge. I’m thinking of potentially changing one side so that instead of being…

Iris: Lantern Design

For this project I really want to use acrylics and since there needs to be light I’m really excited to try to LED lit side of acrylic type thing. I have made a design that will have three layers each with their own color. Which color is depicted in my inkscape drawings may not be…

Lantern Design – Jakob Sperry

I want to make a Ping Pong ball light display that will fade in and out and flutter different colored lights. I plan to use spherical packing and make a hexagonal base that will hold an LED strip with individually controllable LED’s. I am still deciding how big to make it and how to mount…

Lantern Design

For this project I was really inspired by the more traditional lantern/ boxes we looked at and after thr organic design of my last project I wanted to do soemthing more geometric. My plan is to have the mountians wrap around the entire piece instead of each panel looking like its own design. The top…
