Jullykta * Dickens Christmas Lantern


Det senaste året har jag ägnat en stor del av min tid åt min Etsy-shop där jag säljer mina papperslyktor. Jag kommer på nya idéer på lyktor hela tiden - det gäller bara att hitta tiden att göra dem! En av de senaste är denna jullykta som är inspirerad av engelska byar i allmänhet och Charles Dickens miljöer i synnerhet. Därav det engelska namnet Dickens Town Lantern.

For the last year I have been spending most of my time on my Etsy shop, where I sell my paper lanterns. New lantern ideas pops up all the time - it is just hard to find the time to do them. One of the last lanterns is this Christmas Lantern, with inspiration from English villages and Charles Dickens' stories.


Jag tecknade och målade därefter motivet på ett A4-papper. Därefter har jag skannat av bilden och skrivit ut kopior, som jag gör mina lyktor av.


Jag gjorde en större variant och en mindre variant av samma lykta. På den stora lyktan ser man hela motivet med en gång. Den mindre blir lite mer hemlig och man får vrida på den för att se alla detaljer.

There is a small and a large version of the lantern. On the large lantern you can see the whole scene at once. The smaller is a bit more secretive and you need to turn it to see all the small details.



På bilderna har jag använt en batteridriven ljusslinga i en glasburk. Det blir väldigt effektfullt eftersom lamporna lyser starkare på vissa punkter och vrider man lyktan lite så kan man få ljuspunkterna att hamna precis vid fönster och lyktor på bilden.

I use a mini-bulb led strand in a glass jar in these lanterns. The effect is very nice: the bulbs shine stronger on certain spots and you can turn the lantern so that the bulbs are right behind a lamp or a window.

  1. Rebecca,
    This is the loveliest idea coupled with the most charming drawings and paintings. I'm on my way to order one right now. I think I could make a lampshade out of a large one as long as I use a very small bulb in the lamp. Rebecca, you've got something wonderful here.

  2. Oh, you make me so happy when you write like this! A lampshade is a wonderful idea! Don´t you think a Led-bulb could do the work? They can be quite strong and in the same time not too hot.
