Bioluminescent Jellyfish Tentacle Seed Hanging Lantern

Steam-bend thin strips of cherry wood to create the flowing, radial ribs that form the jellyfish bell canopy. Secure these to a central hexagonal housing that serves as the internal seed reservoir.

Incorporate clear acrylic panels within the ribs to allow for high visibility of the seed levels while maintaining the illusion of a floating, transparent creature. Etch the panels with subtle patterns to catch the morning sunlight.

Attach hand-turned wooden dowels or copper wire chains to the base of the frame to mimic flowing tentacles, creating perching points for various bird species. Treat these extensions with a weather-resistant finish to ensure longevity outdoors.

Apply a glow-in-the-dark, non-toxic pigment to the internal ribs to create a gentle, haunting silhouette during twilight hours. Seal the final assembly with a marine-grade varnish to protect the delicate curves from moisture and UV damage.
