Let There Be Light ~ Illuminated Ice Lanterns

With winter solstice approaching I wanted to share this simple idea for an ice lantern. A wonderful way to beckon back the light....



Gathering all the pieces... Greens, berries, pine cones...
Two containers ~ one bigger than the other
Rocks


To create ~ place your smaller container into the bigger one. Add your cutting from nature into the outer circle. Place rocks into the inner container. Fill outer circle with water. Place outside to freeze.


Once frozen, pour hot water into inner circle and let sit until the inner container slides out. Then pour water on outside container until your lantern slides out.



* Ready to shine so bright on a cold winters night *


Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.--Buddha




These lanterns shall be aglow on Solstice night, as many wonderful women walk the illuminated path up to my home to share in the longest night of the year together.  In this big beautiful bloggy world I shall envision each of you wonderful women present in the spirit of light.



Twig and Toadstool shall be signing off until later in the new year.
Maureen and I want to wish each and everyone of you a * Peace~filled * Joy~filled * Light~filled * Solstice and holiday season!

 Light & Love

  4. Such a lovely lantern. Beautiful enough to make me wish I lived somewhere icy cold enough to actually make one. Here in Florida, if I attempted it, it would melt faster than Frosty. At least I get to enjoy it on your blog.

    Have a Merry Christmas!

  17. Where I live in Canada on Xmas eve we have a "Festival of Lights". We make and put ice candles on our loved ones graves. It's so stirring to visit or drive past to see 5000 plus lit wax candles shining thru the ice ones! One winter I made 61 of them! They were on my deck, lining my sidewalk and I gave some as gifts complete with the wax candles! ! !

  29. There can be a way to fix this issue when your Aol Mail Login won’t open. You just have to launch it from the Windows instead of the AOL desktop manager shortcut. You have to open the “All Apps” and then click on the “AOL Desktop Manager” and see if it starts. If it doesn’t start, the program might be damaged and you need to get in touch with the AOL customer support team.

This antibiotic medication works by stopping the growth of bacteria, helping to alleviate symptoms and speed up the healing process. Cefuroxime axetil tablets are typically taken orally with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional.
