Challenge entries (so far)

Hi and thanks for this challenge! 

Starting this off with a project I finished this week, a glowing Inkscape icon, a fiery mountain of doom, lol:
 

I got the 3D-printed Inkscape icon from Jabier some time ago, and always wanted to make something special out of it. For the light, I used a magnetic, 3xAAA powered LED lamp, a slice of a chick pea tin, black cardboard, normal cardboard, nail polish, glue, black electrician's tape, clear tape, reflective aluminum tape and a bit of acrylic color and black marker.

If you look closely, you'll notice the icon is mirrored - that's because I liked the smooth surface on the downfacing part of the printed plastic more than the side with the curved plastic strands. Also looks more 🤘
(outside of the competition, it's not drawn!)

@Moini You are very resourceful. Thank you for sharing your creation!
