Lantern Pod Series
Natural Christmas Baubles - Handmade in London
£60 – Unique Piece
A warm, glowing collection built around the soft papery textures of dried physalis and the sculptural depth of lotus pods. Rich velvet bows in burgundy and forest green anchor each piece with a nostalgic, old-world charm. The palette blends ember orange, harvest gold, and woodland green, creating a mood that feels both rustic and luxurious - like a slow December sunrise settling gently across a winter garden. Each bauble is finished with a discreet crocodile clip on the reverse, allowing it to be easily and securely attached to Christmas tree branches.
Physalis lanterns · dried lotus pods · preserved eucalyptus · dried eriocaulon decangulare · poppy seed heads · cinnamon sticks · velvet ribbon
I designed this set to celebrate seed structure and natural ageing. Each element is hand arranged onto a cinnamon base, allowing the materials to remain visible and unforced. Each piece takes around 20 minutes, resulting in a set that feels collected rather than matched.
