“Tiny Jenny Wren flits from tree to tree, her tail upright waiting for her singing partner to arrive. Then the duet begins, the smallest of birds with the biggest of voices. Calling your attention with her loud, trembling song. Look away and she’s gone.”

Jenny Wren is made from Yorkshire herringbone and checked tweed. She has a beady little black resin button eye. The details of her face have been needle felted from natural merino fibres. She is appliquéd onto a lantern that has been covered with grean leafy 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.
