I created these 2 mixed-media lanterns based on assignment given on 2nd week of Misty Mawn "Full Circle" workshop. They were supposed to be a bit more simple, but I went overboard with detail and layers. I thought I would like to enjoy looking at them not only at night, when they lit up, but also during the day. I painted faces in acrylics using pictures as references, added organza, vintage doilies, paper doilies, lace, beads and other embellishments. The insides we painted as well. And now, I light a candle and put it inside! (I only made 2 of them and after some consideration decided to sell them in my Etsy shop.)
