Craftster Challenge #1 - Lamp

Craftster has monthly challenges on their site. I just realized that I never posted my pictures from the first challege I participated in.
Here is the ifnormation on the challenge. -
Have you always wanted to learn how to make your own working lamp using a hardware store lamp kit? Maybe a lamp made out of something totally unexpected? Have you seen a beautiful but financially out-of-reach chandelier and thought, I should make my own? How would you like to try your hand at making a cool candelabra that totally reflects your own style?Well, now's your chance! This month's challenge is to create any kind of "light fixture" that's all your own!Your project can be made out of whatever you want. The only requirement is that:(a) it actually works (via electricity, candles, battery-operated candles, etc).(b) that it be awesomely creative, of course!You can get ambitious and create your lighting fixture totally from scratch. Or you can totally revamp an existing light fixture.



Beginning of the homemade lamp mad from a photo archival box.

Step 2 box with glittered and ribbon added.Lamp lite up..but hard to see b/c of all of the glitter, so I took an additional picture without the light on to show the "glowing" writing.
