I dried daffodil leaves for the first time this year and was thinking this evening how could I use them? And here your post came up!! I had tried weaving with them with the world school kids but I forgot I needed to dampen them first so they kept breaking. I will try twisting them now and see what happens. You have such a lovely edge to your work, something I am still trying to work on. Your book is going on my 'yes please' list for my husband to buy. Looking forward to reading more of your posts.
Could you please share something about the joyful exploration of finding new materials grown and that you touched in your immediate world /////. and how you find your fulness of relationship with nature and the natural, as a life-force, life cycle. And your sense of artist scientist person. Soul making if you will. Thank you.
I have daffodil leaves drying all over my garden in the the middle of the USA. I can't get my head around how you are weaving them (new to this idea of weaving with soft plants). Thanks for this post - Love the work you are doing.

Thanks Joanne. You can dampen the leaves to soften again, then they are ready for weaving or making cordage. Lots more on this in my book Wild Weave
Lovely piece thank you Alice. Waiting for the book in October! All the best, Jo
