Moroccan Lanterns, second part

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

As promised, this is the second part of the article regarding Moroccan lanterns. Enjoy

Not only are the glass patterns of Moroccan lanterns unique, but the lanterns themselves are also available in various shapes – diamond, hexagonal, triangular, square, and even hot air balloon. Some lanterns can use candles, like in ancient times, but others come fully wired and modernized to accommodate light bulbs. These handmade lanterns were created using an ancient tradition passed down from generation to generation, making each individual piece a work of North African art. No two lanterns are exactly alike! What can a Moroccan lantern do for your backyard décor? Add a splash of color, a hint of mystique, or create a theme. Your Moroccan lantern purchase can reflect many things about your character; it can be a symbol of distinctive taste, a sign that you support local artisans, a flash of cultural heritage, or a spiritual design to invite ancient protection into your home.   

Light décor is all about establishing a mood. In fact, lighting can affect the emotions much like eating a proper breakfast, going for a jog or receiving a loving embrace. Unless you live in

Russia, where some nights the sun doesn’t descend until 3am, you will undoubtedly need some outdoor lighting to make your backyard oasis last until your bedtime. Nights like this are best savored at your own pace, rather than hurriedly wrapped up as soon as the sun goes down.

Fyi: Hope you enjoyed the article. I just added a new page with new Moroccan mosaic tables. Please check it out. Will be back tomorrow.
