The When I grew up we allways had a lantern hanging in the window from the first Sunday of Advent. A family tradition since my grandmother. The red light of the silhouette lantern brings beauty and a warm atmosphere to the room. Unsurpassed craftmanship. The motif windows are cut with slanted edges. Made of heavy cardboard lined with red silk. I sign each lantern and my trademark is impressed at the bottom. |

Special
| By request I can make a lantern with your own
motifs on the assumption that the motifs are suitable as silhouettes.
Suggestions are appreciated! If it is hard to find four good motifs, you can combine a local motif with any of my other motifs. Here are the special motifs that I've done so far.
