Inspired Me!,
By
This review is from: Fibre Basketry: Homegrown and Handmade (Hardcover)
This book really inspired me to look in my garden for new things to make baskets with. I was already using pine needles, but now have expanded. Last fall I gathered iris leaves, iris stems, cattails, rushes and honeysuckle. Made a few small baskets, and found it is fun (and cheaper) to gather and prepare your own materials. This year, I am adding dandelion stems, daisy and coreopsis stems, paperwhite and lily leaves, yucca leaves (green and already dried), pine roots...what fun! Some of the plants described in this book are not available in the US, but the myriad of beautiful baskets made from dried bulb leaves alone is enough start my head buzzing with new ideas. Love this book!
