Finished Lanterns

By danedaniels

Here’s how it all started.

And here’s what we ended up with. The paper I used was different than my original sample and we had to paint the texture (that you can’t see) by hand. It took 4 times as long as expected to hang them. So far I’ve gotten tons of complements and lots of folks asking what they were all about.

What do you make of it? I wish I had a close up that would show more detail. Oh well!

Special Thanks to Abbey who helped me paint and hang and to Mike Patzig who helped with logistics and who’s postponing the setup of his front lawn Christmas light show so that our lanterns can hang til mid November.

So that should take care of nine weeks. Then we have a few one-timers followed by the Advent Season which is supposed to be A Christmas to Remember. Any ideas for that one?
