Autumn's Keepsake
Capture the beauty of autumn with this wall-mounted arrangement.
At its heart lies a stunning burnt orange ranunculus, surrounded by vibrant orange and red rose hips, decaying rose leaves, and a golden autumn sycamore leaf.
Whimsical grass seed heads add a touch of delicacy, while a small, weathered animal bone weaves an air of quiet mystery through the composition.
Mounted on a plaque with a burnt, aged wood effect, this piece evokes the essence of nature's cycle, from its radiant peak to its tranquil decline.
All elements are crafted by hand using cold porcelain and the bone is ethically sourced
