I call this my Weed Wreath as it's made
up of things I found growing wild around
the Farm this Summer.
Two frames, six air-dried white
Roses, my Glue Gun and about 10
minutes went into making these,
which are so simple, yet so
effective.
Lavender, Marjoram, and pink
Rose wreath.
Door bouquet of yellow and
orange Roses and Baby's Breath.
Twisted Ivy vine, with white and
yellow Roses and Buttercups.
Wooden trug, filled with Lavender,
Marjoram, Roses and Lichen finished
with Paper Ribbon.
Little weathered Terracotta pot,
filled with Lavender, and Roses.
Dried Box and long stemmed yellow
Roses, loosely arranged in an ancient
Terracotta urn - Somehow it just works.
Fruit and Spice wreath - Dried
Orange and Lemon slices, Box, dried
Cloves soaked and threaded onto
cotton, bundles of Cinnamon,
Blackcurrant flowers, Lichen and
ribbon, worked onto a straw wreath
base.
