Hey all,
I've gotten into The Kingkiller Chronicles lately and am midway through The Wiseman's Fear. I decided I wanted to make a sympathy lamp for my wife for the holidays.
For those unfamiliar, sympathy is loosely what they call magic in the books and lanterns and lamps that use it do not produce heat and often give off a red light.
After looking around I found a very nice looking LED lantern on amazon, and more importantly, it was metal and glass construction but VERY affordable.
It also had access to the leds, which I used translucent model paint and a very small paintbrush to coat a faint red. I used a dremel to carve runes on the metal and looked for a suitable antique looking leather case to present it in. I am very happy with how it came out and she loved it!
I printed and weathered a tag and attached with twine.
