I was reading Bloesem this morning as I enjoyed my tea and learned about Dutch paper artist Jurianne Matter who is married with two kids and lives in the Netherlands. I love the idea of using these little paper boats (Jurianne calls them “wish boats”) to keep candies – what a sweet idea for a kid’s party for decorating the table.
I adore the paper lanterns too and remember making these in school art class as a kid only Jurianne’s are much nicer than my impatient 8-year-old version that I made from construction paper and crayons. :)
If you live in America, you can purchase these lanterns and boats at Linda Ferrol Studio online. If in Germany, the lanterns are being sold online at La Mesa. You can find her lanterns, angels and boats in the UK at Not On The High Street.
