I Made A Violin Sconce, And Here Are The Results

This violin was inadvertently broken, and its fate is sad because it can no longer be played. Yet it looked very beautiful, it’s a color very bright and always pleasing to the eye. I tried lighting the back side of the violin and it came out very spectacular.

The sconce gives a soft ambient glow with the light coming from the bow as if it were floating above the violin. The “violin” is mounted on a sun-burned wooden base, more than 60 years old. This combination creates an unusual and pleasing contrast to the eye. I really hope that with this new look, the violin will please its owner for a long time to come.

Hello Pandas! My name is Ieva, though it's often mistaken for the word 'Leva,' and in Lithuanian, it means 'loser' (insert the pain emoji). While I don't take offense if you accidentally call me a loser, I thought I'd share something interesting with you, which I also do professionally at work.

Anywayyy, my favorite part here is introducing you to creative people who deserve just as much recognition as famous celebrities. Besides that, I also enjoy memes and funny, lighthearted posts, and occasionally, I find myself drawn to a bit of internet drama.
