“Silent in flight, Bernard the Barn Owl is a creature of the night. Wearing his heart shaped mask, he hunts in perfect darkness. Nothing gets past this big eyed boy, his ears so finely tuned that some say he can even hear the stars breathing.”

Bernard Barn Owl is made from Yorkshire herringbone and checked tweed. He has a beady little black resin button eye. The details on his body have been needle felted with natural merino fibres. He is appliquéd onto a lantern that has been covered with a teal leaf print cotton Batik fabric.

My batik fabric comes from Hoffman Batiks, who are a 90 year old Californian, family run firm. All of their batik is hand printed in Bali.

The lantern measures 12cm high with a diameter of 10cm.

This lantern is suitable for use with battery powered tea lights or filled with a string of fairy lights. Do not use with candles as the fabric is not flame retardant.
