For some reason this comment makes me think: torches! We need wall sconces with flaming torches! Now, how to do that?

Make sure they light up all on their own as you pass by them. Heavy ornate candelabra could also work.

I have cardboard toilet tissue tubes, tissue paper, white glue, and a battery-operated tea light. Will that work?

Nice to see the girls doing some interior decorating wink
If you want actual fire, I imagine Google has some instructions on how to make your own slowmatch.

Lol - of course you need self-lighting wall sconces in the dungeon!

Very industrious of the pair to install them

You know how we roll around here, don't you?  yay  None of that photo-shop fakery in this dungeon!

I got quite distracted reading about slowmatch fuses last night! Yes, there must be instructions somewhere!

The torches will look better when they are finished. This was a quick snapshot using the work-in-progress rough draft version.
Thank you for the inspiration. I'm not sure what it was about what you commented yesterday that caused me to suddenly wonder why I have never added torches or wall sconces to the dungeon, but... well, now they're in the works!

Looks like an adventure in a booby-trapped jungle temple. Amazing lighting!

This is such a brilliant picture; the lighting and composition just lead you to look at it. Fantastic.

Very cool and spooky! And also her hair suggests a wind is blowing. You are creating a great series of Halloween-y shots with this set.
