This Red Squirre lantern is made from a burnt orange overcheck Harris Tweed. Her belly, tufted ears and tail have been needle- felted with natural merino fibres. Her whiskers have been hand stitched with orange cotton and she has a black resin button eye.

She is appliquéd onto a lantern that has been covered with a bold green leaf 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.
