It's so exciting when one is inspired to create and everything you need is on hand - which is very important at 11:30pm in the best of places and even more so here, where there is no shop to pop into to get what you need. Christmas lights, sea urchins ( from our many many Eleuthera beach adventures and date days ) a semi rusted hoop left over from one of my daughter's bed canopies long ago that I just KNEW would come in handy one day, a hot glue gun and some garbage bag ties............and then of course, the best secret ingredient, a creative partner in crime. Husband on guitar with some nice chords was an added bonus - we were in the flow, in the groove.........and then, how delightful, at the end of it all, to bathe in the soft beautiful glow of our light!

Hi there, your project inspired me to create a fairy lighting for our pergola but I wanted to ask before getting started.. How are the sea urchins behaving with the heat of the light bulbs ... My fear is that they will crack quite fast and would be a shame to destroy them as they are not so easily found on our beaches. Maybe a glaze of heat protectant would help?!Anyways. Would higly appreciate it if you could share how they are behaving.. Thank you🙏🏻!
