Name, life, lanterns

In august we are going to have a party, to celebrate that Silas has arrived in this world, and that he has got a name.

His first name means "tree/forrest/the one who came from the forrest" His second name means "filled with light" Because of this, we will fill the forrest with light, by arranging a lantern party. Since it will be in august, both the day and the night will be bright. So lanterns are maybe not a very logical option. But we decided to make it anyway, and call it a lightparty, where we will involve all kinds of lights. Lanterns, bonfire, candles, the sun...and it will all start off with all of us making lanterns together. The lanterns will be used later, as a way to wish Silas a bright and happy life.

These days I am spending some time on planning the details and getting things settled. The other day I decided to make a couple of simple lanterns, just as a test to find out some things about the process, and to have a couple of examples. It was quite fun.
