Fairy Lantern


The theme was 'Shiny' for the creative challenge at my Local Art shop. So I decided to the make the fairy lantern.  You will find lots of tutorials online for this, but this is how I did it...
Drew and cut of the shape of a fairy in black card.
PVA glued white tissue paper all over the outside of a jam jar.
Let dry and glue the fairy on the inside of the jar.
Sprinkled glitter on the outside of the jar (on top of the dried tissue  paper)
and then tied a glittery ribbon around the top of the jar.
some tutorials include the lid, but I left this off as I thought it would be easier to access the candle inside.

Light Sensitive Paper



I really enjoyed making these light sensitive
pictures.  I got the paper off Amazon and collected leaves and flowers on a walk in the woods.

The paper was really easy to use.  I first tried out different positions on scrap paper and then laid it out onto the light sensitive paper for real. Positioning it in bright sunlight for 5 minutes changed the colour of the paper.  I finally removed the flowers and wet the paper in just cold water.  This 'fixed' it so it wouldn't develop any further.

In the future I might try it with lace and old fashioned shaped keys.  - I will keep you posted on how these turn out.
They look really nice framed in my bathroom.  
Let me know what you think
Do you have any other ideas of what I could use?
