Who is Lighthousekeeper Design

Lighthousekeeper Design is the home based craft business of Dale & Pam Longacre. We have been doing craftwork for nearly 45 years with a few breaks in between. It is an enjoyable adventure and a great way to stay busy doing what we love. Pam is the creative force behind the illuminated multi-layered shadowbox designs. She also produces other cut-craft items. Dale is the inspiration behind our Engraved products. His skills in computer design and graphics allow for a vast selection of designs. Dale is also a lifelong professional fine arts photographer having received his first camera in the 8th grade. He has been nurturing his skills in all aspects of photography through the years. He now travels the coastal areas of Maine capturing its natural beauty and wildlife. It is our hope to eventually incorporate his images into our website and live craft events in the future.
What are Illuminated Shadowboxes?

Illuminated Shadowboxes are made from layers of precision cut paper creating a 3-dimensional image that has battery operated micro -lights interwoven into the layers. This gives the framed art a soothing enhanced glow in darker conditions. They are CNC cut and hand layered by Pam Longacre in Westbrook, Maine. the cut and assembly time for these is approximately 2 to 4 hours each.
Are the batteries replaceable?

YES. Each Shadowbox has an on/off switch to control the lights and the batteries are replaceable by the owner. the lights use 2-CR2032 button batteries.
