The Making of DIY Boho Whimsical Antique Teapot Lantern Crystal Wire Wrapping Project VIDEO


I'm wrapping up my semester (probably my last one) at UMASS Boston. For my Cinema Studies Class "Experimental Film" we had the option of doing our own original work, so I made a condensed version of my documentary plus some other commentary to go along with my oral presentation. I was very very sick when I had my presentation, so there's no video footage of my presentation. But, I do have the clip.

Here's the Documented footage video I made:



And here's the clip I did for my UMASS Boston Presentation:


I actually also brought the lantern with me to the University for the presentation.

DIY Boho Teapot Lantern Project: LED Lights

For the past few years, when trying to explain this project, what it was, and what I as doing/,making, I often met with bewildered blank stairs... probably because people don't move I the same circles or spheres which I do, including other artist friends I have & know. Also, a major setback with completing this project was poverty. Yet, the inspiration was still STRONGLY within me, and I never gave up!

One thing that was often told to me was:
Well, I want to see that when it's finished! Send me a photo of that when you're done!


Even tho' people were very familiar with using LED string/wire lights in decor is a very popular practice for the past few years, which you can see all over any craft store, and even Wal-mart, Target, Kohl's, Marshall's, and even sometimes at CVS or Walgreen's, and people were familiar with my other lantern works, nobody really understood me when i trued to explain this.

Anyways, I wet to Michael's craft store and I saw a full display on sale of a wide variety of these, and even tho' I was originally thinking of white or warm gold, I was really drawn to the blues. I as also tempted to get a purple, but didn't.

Something about the blues really drew me to them. They are 2 different types of blue, and have a really brilliant glow, so I think that have magnesium in them but also they don;t quite show true to color as the human eye can see them when photographed. Actually, they're both a variation of cyan or turquoise blue, but the one is slightly indigo colored.





I had to unravel the lights, then coil them back up and insert them within the pot/lantern. The other string has to be forced through the spout.







The lantern appears to be pouring light. there's a lot of symbolism & metaphors in this symbology I used here.







I have also been video documenting this process of creating this project.

And I have also shot some SLR photography with my new camera.
