The brief to myself was to construct an alien abduction lamp using household objects (egg-cup, disposable champagne glass, LED reading lamp, transparent globe Christmas tree decoration, coloured felt drinks coasters) assisted by toys.
In mass-manufactured versions, it always bugged me that the victim held in the tractor beam was fixed to the base. I wanted to create my own version where they would be held in place by the element creating the beam meaning that the whole enterprise would look a bit more realistic.
