Bon Bon Lanterns by Ana
I have been coveting these bon bon lanterns by Ana Kras for some time now. Although heralding from Serbia, Ana is a local rose since she sources all the materials for her creations from her home town. She is an artist/photographer who began making the lanterns four years ago as a meditative hobby, but soon it became something desired among her New York friends. Another example of how doing what we love can bring us abundance. I love the playful colors and shapes of these bonbons and most of all how it is all made from recycled thread!
1) What inspired you to start your line?
i make small editions of some pieces sometimes, and i do make lamps, but they are one of a kind.
2) Where do you source the material for the bon bons?

7) Where can we find your beautiful works of art?
