Our Daily Challenge 20-26 November : Things in the Yard
An old oil fired road lamp decaying in my garden
You can buy these glass wick holder inserts at most craft stores, in various sizes. The great thing about fiberglass wicks is they never need to be advanced, thus they never need replaced.
approx. cost $5
you'll need:
mason jar w/ lids (flat cap lid & ring lid)
smokeless odorless paraffin oil
fiberglass wick (never needs replacing/do NOT advance wick)
wick holder insert (glass or metal)
drill
3-5 items below:
pine cones
evergreen trimmings
berries
holly
seedpods
lichen/moss
fern fronds
sticks, etc.
1. put decorative items in clean jar, arrange items until you get the look you want
2. fill w/ unscented paraffin oil
3. drill hole in top of flat cap lid same diameter as wick holder insert
4. thread fiberglass wick through wick holder insert
5. place the wick (& wick holder insert) in the lid hole & put the lid on the jar making sure the wick hangs in the center of the jar
6. screw lid ring on jar tight
Black metal base with blue and yellow striped shade. Matches this floor lamp. Measures 24" tall.

The Flickr Lounge-Reflection
My Nikon has a flip screen so I set it on the shelf and snapped a photo of my Tiffany Lampshade in it. It was't easy to do this, took quite a few tries.
This lamp appears in the 1926 photo shown on the monitor. It's from my grandmother's house in Saginaw. That photo is here on flickr, too, of course.
