Fair-trade, eco friendly and sustainable, this beautiful Butterfly on Mushrooms ornament is lovingly crafted by hand in Bali. We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that we are all working ethically and fairly. They’re BAFTS registered and spend much of the year within the Bali community. This ornament is not mass produced which makes it even more unique, and eco-friendly.
Parasite wood carvings are created from a parasitic plant. It’s a mushroom-like growth that embeds itself into the bark of a Chinaberry tree and gets its nourishment from the tree’s sap. Eventually the parasitic growth kills the tree. Highly skilled artisans remove the parasite wood to create their art and in the process save Chinaberry tree – a double win!
