Hope everyone is having a lovely first weekend of fall. Here in Florida the best ways to know it’s fall is 1) the days start getting shorter and 2) the humidity isn’t as bad as it was during the summer.
The table is done. That’s all I did this weekend. I never tell anyone what I really did over the weekends, because I’m sure people really wouldn’t understand.
“I spent the better part of 2 days making a miniature lantern light up and then carving a piece of wood to make a 1:12 scale table for the lantern to sit on.” Yeah, I’m totally normal.
It’s a bit more rough than I had originally planned. Turns out I’m very impatient when it comes to carving pieces of wooden closet dowel rod. My Dremel was a big help. I’m not sure it would have gotten done without it. All of the wiring and battery are inside of it.
Now to get back to landscaping.
So much landscaping.

Thank you! Sadly, after all of the carving, my right hand feels like I punched a wall.

Oh wow! I’m totally impressed! It looks like a primitive piece that your traveler picked up in a market or traded for and has been carrying around ever since. I love it.

Yay! That’s what I was hoping for! I think my project luck has been used up. I’m trying to make a mosquito net and it’s just not working.

I have some white tulle I could send you if you need more for your mosquito netting. You could also get some coarsely woven cotton and pull threads out to make it look more open.

Awesome work! Did you make the lantern? I’ve been looking for one for months and this is the best reproduction I’ve seen.

Thank you. I didn’t make the lantern. It’s a small metal Coleman lantern that I took apart, drilled a hole through the base, installed a chip light, and glued it all back together. I think I had found it on eBay, but you might find one on etsy as well.
