DIY Glow Jars Tutorial
Aren’t these glow jars sublime?
They take about two minutes to make and cost only 20 cents a piece!
For each glow jar you will need:
- a jar
- two Glow Sticks
- scissors
- rubber gloves
- safety glasses
Purchase Glow Sticks
Grab two glow sticks and cut at one end. Make sure they are inside the jar when you cut them. I used rubber gloves because I didn’t want to get the glowing liquid on my hands.
Shake each glow stick while holding inside jar until contents are empty. You will notice little pieces of what looks like plastic along with the liquid. One reader said this is actually glass, so be careful. You will dump these out later.
Head to your garbage and dump out the little pieces of plastic. Swirl liquid around the jar.
That’s it. You’re done! Go and find a dark place and enjoy the glow! (Note: These will glow for about an hour.)
Ball of Light Photogrpahy Dennis Smith
These images are so beautiful and like the video below explains these spheres mean so much more. They are like a portal into another world and leave you wondering.
Dennis Smith is an Adelaide Photographer with a great story.
Absolutely love this concept and can't wait to try it myself sometime this summer.

dentsu: paint sound sculptures
| | |
the creative studio dentsu, teamed up with photographer linden gledhill to create this series of paint sculptures using
sound vibrations. the series was part of a campaign for canon’s pixma ink printer brand. the photographs and videos
begin by wrapping a membrane around a small speaker. ink drops were placed on this membrane and the speaker
was turned on. once it began to vibrate the ink begins to jump up and down. high-speed video cameras and still
cameras were used to capture this including circling around the sculptures to see them from all angles. experimenting
with different sounds and frequencies created the various pieces.

DIY String Chandeliers
Jessica of Wednesday Inc shows us how to make those gorgeous twine chandeliers from the inspiration shoot she shared with us this morning. Using balloons, glue and twine, you can also make these lanterns for your wedding – and then bring it home and use it as your very own mid century lampshade.
What you will need are: balloons, glue, yarn, tray for glue, corn starch 1/2 cup of Corn starch, 1/4 cup of Warm water, clear fast drying spray paint, hanging lamp cord or fishing line (depending on your desired final product), and a lighting kit if you’re looking for a fully functional lantern. Jessica recommends using a sharpie to mark on the inflated balloon how much room you need to leave for the lighting cord. She also recommends coating the balloon with vaseline prior to wrapping the yarn coated with glue so it doesn’t stick on the balloon once it’s dry. You can see all the details on Jessica’s blog.
Are you getting excited to try to do this at home as much I am?
Instructions:
1. Inflate the balloon to a medium size so the shape is a little rounder.
2. If you’re looking to make a lampshade out of the string chandelier, use a sharpie to mark around the knot on the balloon.
3. Before you start working, we recommend using a tarp.Mix corn starch, glue and warm water together until it has a smooth texture.
5. Smear the vaseline all over your balloon until it is completely coated so th twine wet with glue won’t stick on the balloon after dry.
6. You can start a little assembly line with friends by one of you feeding the yarn through the glue mix and giving to another person to wrap it around the balloon.
7. Start wrapping the balloon vertically, slowly changing to wrapping. For a seamless look, tuck the ends of the twine under one of the wrapped strings.
8. Wait 24 hours until the balloon has completely dried before popping the balloon.
9. Spray the string chandeliers with clear fast drying spray paint et voila!
