Description
My second shadow box with lights installed in it!Usually when I work with something somewhere during the process I start getting a little bored with it. I've just been looking at it and thinking about it for too long. I've been planing the artwork for a while, then I make thumbnails, sketches, draw the actual motif and so on and so on. Creating something is always a long process but even though it dosen't have the same "YES - this is good" feeling once I'm done with my piece, as it did in the beginning, I do know if I like it or it didn't turn out as I wanted it to.
I don't get the some feeling with these shadow boxes. Yes I do get a little bored with the motif while it's in the making but once everything is cut, assembled and I turn on the lights for the first time - I'm actually kind of blown away
I can't get enough of this! So don't worry - there will be more!
Materials:
- Paper
- Foam board
- Glue
- LED-lights
- Shadow box
Measurements:

This is so beautiful! The way the light recreates the feel of being underwater is amazing.

Fantastic work, it looks so calm and peaceful and it has so much depth because of the many layers. Fantastic

These are awesome! It's really neat how the light reacts around the edges to make them pop just a little.

Wonderful work, once again ! ^^
I have to say that I think light box is especially embellishing when it's a submarine world... It creates this kind of almost blurry background that I imagine would be identical deep down a sea

Thank you sooo much!
I think you're right! I was a little unsure about it at the beginning: would it actually look like it was under water, how would I create the under water feeling? It can definitely be improved but I think the fish have done their work

I suspect this is a bit large for a night light, but man I want this night light.

It's actually not that big: 25cm x 25cm x 4,5cm. I've thought about them as night lights too!
