Lit From Within
Margaret Dorfman transforms fruits and vegetables into decorative accessories that are works of art. Thinly sliced and specially treated fruits and veggies are arranged to form striking ornaments that are perfect for meditation, decoration or ambiance. The natural beauty of cabbage parchment pairs beautifully with the earthy zucchini, while vibrant papaya slices coupled with inky beets are reminiscent of a ripe harvest. Includes LED candles that create a truly unique home decor accent. (3) CR-2332-3V batteries included. Handmade in California.
Each is one-of-a-kind and will vary slightly.
Zucchini/Purple Cabbage (on left) and Beet/Mexican Papaya (on right) sold separately.

Margaret Dorfman
Margaret's work is made by hand from over 40 different varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables that are cured, dried, pressed and aged in a 10-14 day process. The translucent parchments that result capture and preserve the jewel-like colors and intricate structures that are characteristic of each fruit or vegetable. She calls this Vegetable Parchment, because the texture and translucency calls to mind the vellum parchments of medieval Europe.

I like the other veggie parchment products, but this tealight bloom looks sloppy

it's pretty but it looks like it would be really fragile

Seem like they would fall apart fairly easily.

wouldn't that be a fire hazard?

Thanks for the question, Jennifer! These don't hold actual tealights. Instead, they hold safer flickering LED candles. Each Vegetable Parchment Bloom comes with the LED candle and the required batteries.
