My warm home

White, light grey, red and all the colors of the winter Nature and a lot of light! This is the style of the northern Europe, so stylish in the latest years also here, in the sunny Italy.
It is difficult, even if not impossible, to find items that fit this cold but sweet style. For example the zinc houses to hold tea lights I've fallen in love with.
I have find them only on the web, Christmas was near and I've wished to create one of them for myself. This is the result.

I've realized the template with Adobe Illustrator after an inspiring surf on the web. I've printed the template on a 300g cardboard, painted it in black and then in silver with irregular brush strokes.

The tea light is a LED tea ligth, no real candles for the paper house ;)
In the dark of the night I've changed the tea light with a short LED chain, the effect is warm and inspiring.
