The story of a gourd lamp Pioneers of advanced gourd lamps, Rising Star has been delivering handmade beauties on Amazon past 6 years. Here is how we make them. Previous page We will farm our gourds each year and wait about 8 months for them to grow. They will need a lot of water, fertilizer and care. Once harvested, we will wait for another two months for them to dry. They will change color and turn into browns and yellows. We will have to wet them again to clean the exterior skin like layer. Once cleaned, the gourd will be ready to design. Before the design, we definitely need some inspiration. And here is ours. Her name is 'Nour' which translates into 'Divine Light' Once the inspiration taken, we will apply the design on the gourd. It can be a free hand work, compass work or some use stickers. We will drill the gourd. Each hole which will carry the light to you will be opened one by one. Drill quality impacts the final quality Our lamps will be an outcome of many thousands of drill holes opened patiently. Once the drilling is complete, we will clean the interiors with a special tool. Most hate this process. Once drilled, we will use the best paint in the world to ensure that our craft is not only a lamp but also a charming decorative object Use a high watt lamp and you will get reflections around and create an environment full of life and positive energy. Chilling out and taking it easy? Use a low wattage lamp and you will get a calm, relaxing wibe around you. Fine craftsmanship, stylish painting and shining beadwork. Our lamps are night time companies & daytime statement decorative objects. Next page
