autumn garland by me
I made an autumn garland to hang from the mantlepiece, using chinese lanterns, cones, old mans beard (wild clematis), ash keys and acorn shells. I am really pleased with it, using finds from our nature walks, plus the chinese lanterns from my friend Rachel, which are rather amazing.

oh those little red papery shells hold a special place in my ♥ thanks to rupert the bear stories ~ they also started my love of origami
lucky you to have a Rachel to give you such beautiful gifts
^_^
They are gorgeous Em x
lovely - just sums up this wonderful season
I LOVE this picture - the simplicity of the shelf, the clock, the candles and dainty garland. I'm growing some chinese lanterns which haven't 'lanterned' this year but I hope they will next year. I grew them purely for use as decoration in the house.
you are so talented. i wouldn't even think of doing something like this! can i come take art workshops at your place?
Beautiful. Over from Flickr. My kids and I will have to make this before Thanksgiving. We have some lanterns in a vase on the table right now... lovely.
Blessings,

I love how it turned out! Very inspiring.
I had never seen Chinese Lanterns until I moved to Denmark and we have a huge plant/bush (not sure which) in our communal backyard. It isn't madly flowering so I don't like to nab any in case the neighbours object. But it always makes me smile. x
