today i decided that it was time to DIY a slightly more "permanent" light box :)
Step 1 :
~ construct the Ikea Antonius frame that you bought today ... turn it upside down
~ cut to size this transparent board (dunno what it's called) and fit into Ikea Antonius like a tunnel
Step 2 :
~ tie light source to one Antonius tray and slip tray in upside down
Step 3 :
~ check if the light works
~ *CLICK* ... and we have Light!!
Step 4 :
~ add whatever paper you have and line the sides of the tunnel
~ also add whatever else you want as decor
Step 5 :
put your artistic creation amongst the decor and *SNAP*
Step 6 :
dump the image into GIMP and Voila!! MAGIC!!
COST :
Ikea Antonius frame : RM 35
Ikea Antonius wire basket : RM 15
transparent board : RM 14
light source : nothing, becos it was from an old disintegrated lamp
TOTAL : RM 64 (approximately USD 22)
and i am HAPPY!!!!! :)

I always wondered how you set up such pretty backgrounds and your pics are so professional looking! thanks for sharing your ideas!
Very clever! Thanks for the idea and the step-by-step instructions!
L- amazing lateral thinking. I must admit you go to a lot more trouble photographing your works than I do - that could explain why you have better photos? Go well. B
thanks for sharing luthien! this is rather helpful as I am completely clueless about making a lightbox.
Great idea. Your photos look allways so professional. thank you for sharing.
This is the first time I have ever seen your blog and already LOVE it and all your stuff! I will try to do that but it won't be better than yours!
Sweet! A nice little dream box of dreamy books. It's definitely allows you to take those beautiful shots forsure.
Great idea, Luthien!
I wish you a very merry xmas and an extraordinary new year!
