That looks so cool! That cube was so satisfyingly symmetrical and took such a nice polish! Absolutely love the way that thing glows! Gotta love the agatized wood for that😄 fantastic project and thank you so much for being a part of the challenge!

[@joang.cavanna2046]

Wow! So beautiful. Best idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@All41N14All4me]

Wow! Great work! Thank you for sharing. I love these maker challange videos. Learning a lot.

Never knew petrified wood could come back to life---light. You are a nature creator.

[@johnsaucerhunter]

Well that turned out just as wonderful and satisfying as I hoped (while watching). The glow on it is fantastic.

[@tedkellison2598]

😮ooo...aaaa... pretty😃 Not to bright, not to dark, just beautiful. Fantastic job!!

[@MichiganRocks]

That looks awesome. It's like a combination of Kate's glowing pet wood and Kyle's nightlight. When I saw the thumbnail, I thought you were making whiskey cubes.

[@MarlainaAtkins]

That's funny... I was thinking the same thing while watching all the videos this week lol😄

[@MichiganRocks]

@@MarlainaAtkins It's not like we all discuss these things before we make our videos! I liked yours a lot.

[@MarlainaAtkins]

@@MichiganRocks Right! I totally didn't take it wrong. Thanks Rob✨🤗 Makers Challenge cheers🥂

Gazing upon that lovely petrified wood in the cube form was soooo satisfying. What a great chunk! Love the concept for this project and it turned out so pretty.

[@janehelbert7551]

Cute!

[@406findings]

That's a great idea, I got an agate I want to do something similar with but drilling a hole will be a pain.

[@roxannsejkora1691]

[@MarlainaAtkins]

🙌😅 Thank you! I'm already thinking of next year... And I've got a few things in mind. I made a list after the 1st challenge...it keeps getting bigger and bigger haha! Choosing which one to do is the hard part lol Best wishes✨

[@paigelee6321]

Awesome idea love it 💙😊

[@keithcunningham7925]

That was surprisingly awesome thank you so much it turned out really nice

[@wilbondcajunrockhound5758]

Nice change of plans , that really came out perfect , lot more light came through than i thought , but thats why you the master maker 🤣, thanks for sharing

[@TruthWillSetYouFree832]

That came out really pretty! I see different sunsets over water on the different sides.

[@ecks_marks_the_spot]

Nice. I like that it's something I can do with my limited tools. Thanks. That turned out beautiful.

[@patriciamckean4186]

Should make night lights like these....😊

[@southforkdiggins]

So often the project ends up being something other than what we started with. Love what you made here! Thanks for the video!

[@MarlainaAtkins]

So so true! Thank you and best wishes!✨

[@southforkdiggins]

@@MarlainaAtkins You're welcome! Thank you and best wishes to you as well!

[@CurrentlyRockhounding]

That came out great! I'm going to make some little lights like this for myself after seeing this.

[@kirsiselei8703]

Omg,that glow looks so pretty💕

[@rawdawgpendants5490]

I just made a doublet, with Spencer Idaho opal capped with rutile quartz!!!! It turned out amazing. You always have great ideas Mar.

[@beckysmith3660]

Nice outcome. I like the way it makes that pet wood look when it’s lit. Great job

[@thirstfast1025]

Great job M! My computer decided that it CAN go on the internet today, so yay! Been a fricken month! It's funny, I thought about doing this idea with a bunch of amethyst crystals when we were thinking of making this house a Crystal Cave to host tiny Raves. (Rave in the Crystal Cave)

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Thanks G!✨🤗✨ Omg... Please invite me if you ever do haha!🙋 That would be a must experience! I can imagine it now... ✨💜💃💜✨ And yay! I'm so happy your computer work today! Always good to hear from you 🐾🐺

The revered cube of Atkins, long thought to be just a legend, but rumored to be on the lost ancient homeworld. Ancient lore says it has the love of a beautiful soul poured into it and that it brings peace to those who gaze upon it.

@@MarlainaAtkins seriously, this could be in someone's fantasy or science fiction movie as a goal or mcguffin.

[@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469]

Nice Marlaina.. I'd not glue the rock to the light, because of burnout. It's easier to tape.

[@largent45]

That's awesome! I love how the pet wood glows! It's beautiful! And even with only that small hole in it, it produces that much light! Amazing! That is another awesome entry for the makers challenge 2023! You just keep coming up with these awesome entries that are really, so easy to make! It's gorgeous too! Awesome idea! Thanks Marlaina!

[@RagnarRocks]

Nice glower! I did a project with those first tea lights you showed, they work much better if you remove the plastic fake flame!

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Wow, that glow is beautiful! I'm glad you made the nightlight, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to see just how amazing that stone is. Thank you for sharing the whole process. 💕

[@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469]

Nice Marlaina.. I'd not glue the rock to the light, because of burnout. It's easier to tape or ssssom

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Thanks Rebecca!✨ I totally hear ya for the long term. The light actually lasts quite awhile.. It's the battery that usually goes out quick. I can change those fairly easily. But tape would work a lot easier all around I agree.

[@cynergy4]

Nice job! Subbed

[@manisteerocks7092]

That's really cool mar!..I might try this project as well, maybe use rainbow fluorite??..hmmmm...great job!

[@MarlainaAtkins]

Thanks Will✨ Rainbow fluorite would work VERY nicely! I want to see if you do! Haha Cheers✨

I could have made that thing in 1/2 an hour.

[@symonrocks9847]

Trust me it's not easy making a pair of cubes unless you are set up for jobs along those lines, even a single cube is difficult , getting all the lines parallel and at right angles, it's easy for a 3 inch finishing half that size. OK now the legal stuff, I have been advised by my legal eagles that you are now in breach of copyright and owe me a small Fortune, however I am prepared and willing for an out of court settlement, a kiss from my marmalade. Don't let your old man see this, he is big and scarey, I am small and no longer hairy. Wishing you and yours well marmalade, big hug. But you didn't show mine.

[@MarlainaAtkins]

You are so right...cubes are NOT easy! If I had a little more time and the right tools I could have pulled it off but you live and learn...now I know. I can't believe I didn't light yours up! What was I thinking...or NOT thinking haha! So sorry... I love my light from you...it helps Charlie sleep at night...he misses you🐒 Ok...legal stuff... My lawyer said you would have to contact KZbin for your cut. I'm not monetized so I make $0. But I could settle with sending you a kiss... Is Hershey's ok? 😘

[@symonrocks9847]

@@MarlainaAtkins OK fair enough

[@symonrocks9847]

Did you know there are waterproof tealights available, so you could put a rock in a fishtank with a light in it

[@MarlainaAtkins]

@@symonrocks9847 Yep yep! In fact, the clear tealight I'm using is a waterproof tealight haha. So if I wanted to drop this thing in a fish tank I could. But you're KIND OF on to my next project...thats all I'm going to say besides its not a fish tank nor will it be in one😁
