New Crystal Lightboxes

These are beautiful!

Hi there. Those are some awesome crystal lightboxes that you made. It will really look good in your bedroom or at the living room. Thank you for sharing what you did. I have been thinking of some new designs that I can put in my bedroom. I have been inspired by what you did, how I wish I can also make something like that.

Those look cool, Shawn. Can you show us the back, and maybe a link to the product? Those look very thin, and not what I picture when I think of the old-style 'lightboxes'. I like the streamlined look of these.

Wild!

the back has a brown paper backing that helps to diffuse the light, and the backs are entirely flat, so they really are as thin as they look. They mount like an acrylic does - with the 4 corners screwing into the wall. You can also do what I did and have 2 longer pegs on the bottom so they stand up like a picture frame :)

The manufacturer is a chinese one - I'll let you do some research on your own for that ;)

I am going to see if I can reverse engineer them and actually make my ow, as the concept is actually not different than the shadowbox lightboxes I made:)

and yeah the chic thin look is great.. they are less than a cm thick :)

They will, however, illuminate ANYTHING that is on them, including dust that gets in between the panes, and finger prints, and little bits and stuff and scratches.. so much care has to go into putting them together - I had to clean them with cloth as I assembled them.

You can see more pics of the crystal lightboxes on my page HERE. I still think faa should have something like this as an option.
