Smoke & Flame!

[Wirelizard]

I picked up a six pack of cheap LED tea lights  in post-Xmas sales recently, and while home sick Friday put together a pair of quick, basic smoke markers with flickering yellow lights in their base.



I hot-glued wire to the rim of the plastic base, skewered cotton batting on the wire, then used more hot glue to secure it. Quick dose of grey & black spraypaint on the front porch and all done!



I even got a short video of really terrible quality to show off the flickery flame effect in action!



There's a bit more detail over on the blog, too.

Very good!

Oh, the mis-spent youth. 

Absolutely crackin' good work.

I smile.

Good idea - think I'll pinch that one for something. Don't know what yet, mind. Perhaps the flickering light of the sacred flame from inside a canaanite temple..
