The 'Paper Luminaire' Collection

New for Spring 20213, the 'Paper Luminaire' Collection!
I have launched a brand new collection of uniquely handcrafted Paper Luminaires, first showcased & so wonderfully received at the 'Craft Central Get's Hitched' handmade wedding Fair in March 2013.
The collection includes three different hand cut designs decorating the Paper Luminaires, 'Leaves', 'Branches' & 'Herb Sprigs'.

A special & unique way to decorate your wedding/celebration tables, they can be displayed singularly, as an alternative to flowers, in conjunction with perhaps a small jar of flowers and in pairs & groups, all creating beautiful shadows in the sunshine of the day & glowing with candles at night.
