More Willow and Tissue Lanterns

I promisied a second post with more willow and tissue lanterns. The one above in my son's anomalocaris. It really is a thing of beauty, and so much work. And although the Dickensian Evening Parade in Tavistock was cancelled because of the bad weather, it is now hung from my ceiling as part of our Christmas decorations. The second photo is rather out of focus, but shows its rather interesting mouth.

 

In fact the best place to hang it without blocking our route through the house is right behind my computer chair, which is making me feel a little bit threatened. My owl is hung in the kitchen above the cat, which probably means she feels the same.

 

And below are some of the other wonderful lanterns which were on display in the Guildhall in Tavistock, and the angel which we came across in the church. As I said there was a right old mixture. It was a shame that the Guildhall display was without the lights switched on, which is how they look best.
