Lantern Project: Sketches of ideas

I was toying around with the idea of using various different materials: glass, plastic, tin, cardboard. Glass provided a good amount of light, however it was heavy. Plastic bottles were light, and provided the clarity of glass bottles, but the variability their form was limited especially with the size of the bulb provided. Tin cans were another promising material, they were light, and their interior surface was reflective; however, they were difficult to cut and rather sharp. Cardboard was light enough, but seemed to dim the light. Ultimately, I stumbled upon a simple plexiglass form container.
