I have no problem turning night into day, well at home that is. I can walk into any room of my house and flip a switch, and voila! "LET THERE BE LIGHT!" Okay, so I'm no magician, but just a few hundred years ago, I might have be considered one!
Our project was to make a lantern out of paper. Before Ben Franklin flew his kite and discovered electricity, people used candles and oil in lanterns to light their homes. I can tell you this, I would not have survived back in Ben's day! We were challenged to make a lantern with a seasonal theme.
Not only am I a technology-dependent teenager, as I said before, I am not so crafty, so this assignment proved to be a real challenge for me.
This was a difficult project for me, since I am not used to working with an craft knife. I was a little scared using it but I think that it turned out well and I am so proud of what I was able to create! I still have all ten fingers too!
I chose Winter as my season. I love snow and the beautiful white blanket it leaves behind. Winter is so calm, quite and still when it snows. I really like how I can sit and just enjoy the beautiful scenery around me. It's so clean and so peaceful. I wanted my lantern to reflect the quiet, calm, outdoor view of a leaf-less tree with a snowman nearby. You can almost feel the wind blowing across the tree and keeping the snowman's scarf flowing in the breeze.
I hope you enjoy my creation!
Leaf-less tree
Cold icicles, snow mounds and a whipping wind
There's my snowman! His scarf is blowing in the cold winter air.
Old Man Winter gusts of wind!
Calm, peaceful, still...
