“Cheeky Bobby Robin is always the last to bed, serenading you to sleep by the street lamp near your  window. But don't worry, he’ll still be up in time to start the dawn chorus, his bright red breast warding off the gloom of the darkest winter days.”

Bobby Robin is made from vibrant burnt orange Harris tweed and Yorkshire brown wool check tweed. He has a beady little black resin button eye. His white streak has been needle felted in natural merino fibres. He 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.
