Here is a tower-like candelabra, which has a housing for an LED and coin battery (both supplied by purchaser). While the piece is lovely and interesting on its own, a shade is available, sold separately, in the shop to diffuse the light and provide more character.


Directions for assembly:

When you look at the housing where the coin battery slips in, you will notice that there are three supports that define this space. Two look the same, and one looks a little different. Let's call the one that looks different the "back support".

Get yourself an a standard 5mm LED. Any colour is good - your choice. For the brightest, I would recommend a super bright white or an ultra bright white. But for fun, know that blue and green LED's look very nice with the moon shade if you have bought it also :) Notice that one of the wires coming from the LED is longer. This is the "positive" wire.

Insert the wires of the LED down through the top hole in the candelabra, and wrap the "positive" wire around the "back support" taking care that it is placed so that it will only touch the battery at this place and no other.

Bend the other wire in a such a way that it will touch only the topside of the battery.

Get yourself a 2cm diameter, 3 volt coin battery. The ones I use are described by this code: CR2025. Insert this battery, negative side up, into the LED Candelabra housing.

Your Candelabra should immediately turn on nicely! Note that you can slide the battery slightly away from the back support and this will turn the light out.

If you have purchased the shade, this is very easy to twist on. Simply drop the shade down allowing its slots to slide over the three housing supports. Then twist the shade to secure it fits tightly.

Enjoy!

This sculpture has an architectural theme, reminiscent of medievally styled fantasy towers. Its white framework, however, provokes one to think of a fine bone structure, or the framework of a long abandoned steampunk castle floating in a forgotten sky. Follow it's ancient bridges in an unending search for future's history.

Astronomy, Invention, Navigation, this ring says it all. Wear it like a badge or as focussing tool on your inward journeys of adventure.

The tellurian is a model of the earth in relation to the sun and moon. It shows the earth's axial tilt, rotation, and orbit around the sun, as well as the moon's orbit around the earth.

The mesh mask, shown here in dyed summer blue WSF material, is comfortable to wear, and quite versatile. WSF comes in a variety of materials, including it's sparkly alumide counterpart, but can be easily painted, sprayed, and dyed. Stick in some feathers, wire on some trinkets, and you have your own custom mask to wear at the next ball!

This tea-light lantern has an art nouveau styling and a mystical elven look. If you want to add some fantasy to your table setting, these are the tea-light holders to use!

These tea-light holders are extremely versatile. You can use them alone, but there something even more exciting you can do:

You can add a customizable paper lantern "hood"! Use any kind of paper you like. There is lots of patterned paper on the market. Whystler will also be publishing PDF files that you can download and print yourself, as well as an Inkscape template so you can design and print your own!

This item is a perfect way you can add your own creativity to your surroundings. Imagine a color scheme to match your decor... or your own motivational words. Special magical symbols written to enhance your mood perhaps? It's all up to you and where you draw your inspiration.

You can even paint these with sharpy markers... black .. pink .. gold ... silver ... what else? You decide.

**A Word About Wedding Use*** Several things make these holders suitable for weddings:

-great price for 3, so you can decorate all of your reception tables.

-Verstile design allows you to add personal shades that match your wedding colour scheme, and also theme. For example, if you have a daisy wedding, put daisies on the shade! Put names on the shades and you have an instant romantically lit place holder at the table.

-When things get crazy at the wedding reception, these little beauties in WSF are durable. They bounce.

-Fits nicely into a purse or coat pocket to take home as favours.

WARNING: Use of real candles is not recommended. They may get too hot for the paper or the plastic holder. Instead, use the handy dandy electrical tea-lights available at your dollar store.

This beautiful wand, made of twisting traced threads would be the pride of any etheral creature of magic. At a length of more than a foot long, it is definately a piece easily afforded and worthy of your mystical cabinet or altar. **Unfortunately, this item is no longer available. The printing process for metal was changed in such a way that the initial binder is not as strong as the former binder. What a shame... Hopefully, future changes that are made to the metal printing process will be upgrades and you will be once again able to buy this piece.

A nice doorplate in Art Deco style for a posh office. This is customizable using the creator template below! Printed in SWF material, this white looks great on wooden or darkly painted doors. This material also takes acrylic paint nicely, and looks great in metallic colours especially when applied with a dry-brush technique over a darker base coat.

A chubby little wizard toy. It could be used as a finger-puppet! The printed models you see here were made with the White Detail material. (psst ... check out his cute lil bum!)

Fly the skies in your beautiful balloon! This one features a hummingbird wing galleon gondola, all created in a frame-style model that one might expect to find in DaVinci's studio.

Please witness a suitable case for vewing species of the order Orthoptera (crickets, grasshoppers and the like). Two side-towers hold food and water respectively, while you examine your specimin, allowing them to rest for a day or two in the lap of luxury.

A little Faery chill out space for the garden. This is *very small* I''''m going to print it in all materials, because it''''s cheap ( approximately 2 cubic cm) but don''''t hold your breath, as it might break. I''''ll post pictures of the real life objects for you to see!

The LED candle is an elegant sculpture that sheds a romantic light. Fitting snugly into any of your most favourite standard candle holders, the LED candle is a new generation of task lighting that not only sets a mood and defines a style, but is far more energy efficient than a fire burning candle. It hearkens to an old form for a new age, but never attempts to be a faked illusion. Instead, the LED candle showcases its electric coin battery and wires as part of the design for those who love to be close to the magic of technology.

-futuristic charm at home on a space station

-sinuous form equally suited on the tables of mystical elven banquet halls.

-minimal use of material and energy.

This is the double sized version of my Faery Gazebo chill out place in the garden. (the little version has 1mm smallest areas that might break, so I''''m testing it out). I''''m also going to print this one out, but only in the strong and flexible material. It''''s more expensive and will cost over $30 of my dollars :) But I will post a picture when it arrives. Keep your fingers crossed that it''''s 2mm thin areas won''''t break!
