4. Durability: The light should be sturdy and well-constructed, using materials and techniques that ensure its longevity.

5. Unique Character: The light should have a unique character or story behind it, reflecting my vision and making it a distinctive piece of decor.

Constraints for creating a driftwood light  include:

1. Material Availability: The availability of suitable driftwood pieces may be limited, requiring to search extensively or rely on specific sources. This constraint can impact the design and size of the light, as well as the overall aesthetic.

2. Design Complexity: The complexity of the design is constrained by the nature of driftwood and its ability to be shaped and manipulated.

3. Technical Skill: Achieving certain design elements or features requires advanced woodworking skills or techniques to handle the uneven shape of the acquired wooden log.
