Weaving with Julie
Thank you for all your comments on my blog. It really helped me this week. Although I would very much like to have sewed the skyline of Bath (Danielle) I spent 3 long wet days in wind and fog making a willow labyrinth and fence with another artist called Julie (Starks). I am putting together a garden at Evan's kindergarten and this is this first piece of the jigsaw. It was a real team effort of about 5 of us each day plus all the kids from the school and kindergarten. Lots of weaving with willow that will grow and flower and look a bit similar to the one in the picture below which Julie and I did last year. It really is amazing to make houses and tunnels out of this stuff but unlike sewing involves lots of mud. We hit quite a few problems in the ground works, but were so blessed because at every point someone turned up who then helped.

ReplyDeleteSorry it has taken me forever to comment on your latest AMAZING willow artwork......you are one creative and intrepid Pantry Violet!!!!!
How do I enroll at this kindergarden so I can be a part of all this amazing creativity?!!!! Seriously, I would love to come and visit you in Bath and see first hand how you are constructing this wonderful willow living fence. Maybe a Violet workshop will happen in the future in Bath!
