Weaving Willow is a little like life with it's challenging knots & willow whipping everywhere. But once it is woven, you have a beautiful orb, even if it is a little lopsided.
A number of MN Herb Society members spent Monday at Heidi Doering's willow farm in Roberts, WI. Heidi showed us the varieties of willow she grows on her charming 3 acre farm. She harvests the willow in the dead of winter and had much willow knowledge to share with us. We had a beautiful day to weave.
Great pics, Bonnie. Fun outing. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHeidi's my talented sister (woot!). I have her willow art all over my house. The pictures are fantastic. Thanks for blogging the experience - fun to see.
