Today I am sharing with you, my upcycled lantern using M-D Hobby & Craft Metal Sheet and vintage Geisha collage sheet from Altered Pages.





I used photos of different angles so you could see all of the beautiful Geishas used on my lantern. In the lower right photo the papers and charms move gently in the breeze.

    I also posted on her blog - I think this is so clever and really just lovely. And I love that it's not only beautiful, but is useful! I'll take two for my deck, please!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
