Kerri Thornton: Lantern Project Finished

Here’s the flower lamp! It’s about a foot tall and is perfect for my desk; my only complaint is that it is actually SO bright — I had to do a lot of work to get these photos to not look like you were staring at the sun. I’m thinking in the future I might try to figure out a way to block some of the light, but I love the look of the bulb so much and don’t want to cover it up. But for now, it’s just a lamp that’s really, REALLY good at its job.

The petals are laser cut acrylic and hand-molded with a heat gun; the base of the lamp was bought secondhand; and everything that is green (stem, leaves, etc.) is epoxy sculpt painted green.
