Coconut Bowl/Lamp-Gold Inner

Description

A wonderful re-purposing use of a waste product.

Made from cut out coconut shells. Coconut milk is key to much Balinese cooking  which leaves a huge mountain of empty coconuts.

Fortunately, Bali is packed with creative artists who put their skills to good use producing these decorative bowls that can be used in a wide variety of ways.

My favourite use for these is with a tea light as it throws magical mesmerising patterns through the cut outs. Fairly traded, supporting artisans in Indonesia.
