Laser Cut Resin Lanterns, Turning Snowflakes into Resin Art

I love the look of laser cut wood... I love resin art... and I love playing with designing light fixtures. I was recently watching the movie Tangled (aka: Rapunzel) and felt inspired by all the luminaries in the film; There is something about luminaries that feels cozy, and inviting. I've seen amazing paper laser cut luminaries done and I wanted to take it up a notch and use wood and epoxy resin to make it my own; Here's how it went!
