         7 . The shadow artwork platform, as recited in  claim 6 , wherein each of said one or more connecting members further comprises a coupling thread on said connecting pin and a screw nut for coupling with said coupling thread to urge against said plurality of control spacers when said plurality of control spacers is arranged to retain the plurality of light shading elements in front of said plurality of light illumination elements for creating the shadow artworks. 
     
     
         8 . The shadow artwork platform, as recited in  claim 6 , further comprising a detachable cover casing which comprises a transparent wall adapted for aligning with the light shading elements, and a side wall for covering said plurality of control spacers and said light platform. 
     
     
         9 . The shadow artwork platform, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said support base comprises a base wall for supporting said plurality of light illuminating elements, an enclosing side wall integrally extended from said base wall to define a cavity for receiving said plurality of light illumination elements, and a plurality of inserting slots formed in said enclosing side wall and is communicated to said cavity, wherein said plurality of control spacers is respectively spacedly arranged on an inner side of said enclosing side wall to define a plurality of grooves for positioning the plurality of light shading elements when plurality of light shading elements is respectively inserted into said cavity through said plurality of inserting slots. 
     
     
         10 . The shadow artwork platform, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said support base comprises a base wall for supporting said plurality of light illuminating elements, an enclosing side wall integrally extended from said base wall to define a cavity for receiving said plurality of light illumination elements, and a plurality of inserting slots formed in said enclosing side wall and is communicated to said cavity, wherein each of the plurality of light shading elements is adapted for being respectively attached on each of said plurality of control spacers, wherein each of said plurality of control spacers is adapted for being respectively inserted into said cavity trough said corresponding plurality of inserting slots.
