Luminaria...

[msfledermaus]

I keep looking at catalogs with fancy expensive luminaria in them...but all I really want is to make the ones I found in a book I bought a while back.
When you're finished, they're like colored seedpods lit up and growing from the ground.
(I'd have to put them in a vase or something, in my balcony-less state.)

Memo to myself: Stop at cool uptown floral place and ask for either willow switches or bamboo canes...
