Flower patterns drawn in sola chips cover the Sola Chips Ball SO92. Rounded, petal-shaped chips are set edge to edge so that they radiate from small central points, forming repeated star or daisy motifs all around the ball.
Each chip keeps a band of golden-brown skin along its edge, and it is these outlines that make the pattern visible: white-ivory faces framed by warm brown lines, rather like a leaded window. The surface is smooth, with the fine fibrous grain of sola showing on each chip. Gallery images show the balls on a wood slice, in a wooden bowl and grouped on linen.
The geometric, floral pattern gives this ball a more decorative, designed feel than scattered-piece balls, so it works well as a focal accent in bowls, on shelves and in premium gift boxes, and it can be scented for potpourri use. Floral Mongers produces it by hand and supplies it in counted packs for wholesale dried décor buyers and export.

Natural variation
Chips are hand-cut and placed, so the motifs vary in symmetry and chip size from ball to ball. The width and shade of the brown skin edges differ naturally with the pith. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Keep in a dry place, away from damp walls, bathrooms and direct sunlight.
- Lift the ball from underneath rather than squeezing the surface pieces.
- Clean with a soft, dry brush; avoid wet cloths and sprays.
- Store in the original carton between uses so the covering is not crushed.
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
