Canadian artist Nadia Tan, literally had a 'light bulb moment' recently!
Her stove light blew out and was determined to do something creative with it...
She found this DIY site; 'how to hollow out lightbulbs'.
Now she gets quite excited every time she finds a burnt-out light bulb!
Take a look at some of her beautiful creations :

hanging vase and mini terrarium for her ginger root sprout.
~How CHARM-ing!

...And her adorable miniature paper clothes have
found their new homes as well! ~Brilliant!!

If I wanted to go for a cheap laugh I'd call these bright ideas, Lenore Nevermore, but I don't so I won't. :) I will just say that they are amazing creations. I love it when alternate uses are found for everyday items, particularly when they are turned into art. Thank you, Lenore!
What a prety colection of delicate little things!
so adorable, i want a topiary like that.
ooh, lovely lovely.
ridiculously, adorably cute!! I love it :)
LOVE this!! What a fantastic way to recycle those light bulbs.
Excellent!
The process does seem difficult though.
Or am I just being a bit 'dim'.
:)
wow wow wow! What a fantastic idea!
Very cool.

I totally want to make a light bulb terrarium but I worry I will end up in the hospital hollowing the bulb out heehee :) Looking at the pictures is real cute and makes up for it :P

Oh Erin,
no bleeding for terrarium, pretty please!
I doubt I'll be hollowing light bulb any time soon as well...
wonderful..so cool..etc.!
Ok, am so trying the plant thing! Now I just have to work out how to do it!
I love the bud vase idea! I did something similar in our jewerly windows once, where I hollowed them out, put some green moss in them and then placed the ring, or earrings, or whatever piece I was using on the moss to hold the item. I had a series of them in one window hanging at different heights.
Mistress Maddie,
sounds gorgeous...always adore looking at beautiful window display!
Genius! What a great way to up-cycle. The ones with the miniature clothes would be perfect for ornaments!
so clever!

C'est absolument génial!!! j'adore...
Bisous et bon weekend
OMG! Wonderful!
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
I want to do something like that... except my boyfriend changed out all our regular bulbs with the energy-saving kind. So all the other bulbs still work, they're just put away. Hmph.
What an enlightened idea - much better than throwing them away.
OMG...these are amazing!!!
Oh wow, these are just beautiful! Kellie xx
So delicate and pretty! It reminds me of those ships they put in glass bottles - I'm not sure how they do that either! Lovely find Sweetie! XOXO's
Oh wow this is genius!
A bulb inside a bulb - that's what I call lateral thinking and as for those miniature clothes....adorable.
