#HappyEarthDay Is there anything more #sustainable than a willow (or other natural fiber) basket? I use the #willow for #baskets , plant supports, living fences, #huglekultur , kindling, garden terraces and so much more. Cutting it makes it grow vigorously. It’s grows wild in the ditch or creek and in cultivation in the field. It composts! I keep discovering new uses every day. #handmade#plants
The biggest fantasy about the movie #Willow is how Madmartigan runs around in the wilderness with perfect butt-length untangled hair that he never puts up.
Another wall #basket inspired by Hanna’s YouTube video. Dogwood, golden #willow and some green basket willow. Still cold here and the dogwood is just beginning to bud in the shady cold canyon where I #wildcraft. Also discovered some native “ditch willow” which I am propagating for the future! #handmade#nativeplants
Signs of Spring in our Tucson, AZ yard: over 20 species of wildflowers have bloomed in the last month + trees like Desert Willows have been leafing out with new green leaves. Here’s my Perpetual Journal page with my art of willow leaves + a Sowthistle in bloom.
