Set The Table
Good Earth
Jaipur is at its coldest in January with lots of flowers in hibernation but pomegranates are at their peak so it felt the perfect time to use them on the table centrepiece. That's when I found the pomegranates and roses plates from Good Earth and inspiration took hold!
The collection was created in collaboration with British artist Rebecca Campbell for their recent 25th anniversary. I painted the menus, candles and place cards with the same fruits and flowers, even a leopard or two.
For flowers, I used roses from the Phool Mandi (by Govind Dev Ji temple) but reflexed out the stiff petals so that they were fuller. I mixed those in with bougainvillaea and a few cherished ranunculus I grew on our terrace.
