Wildcrafting
Christmas
by Susan
Hawkins
This years goal was to
make things from the woods and from common things in the kitchen,
So many many possibilities! I
found it so hard to pick what to do next, I thought up
a thousand things and only time
to do some...Thank goodness Christmas comes again each year.
Wildcrafting Christmas is fun
and incredibly easy and inexpensive, all you need is a good pair of walking
shoes, clippers and baskets, a touch of glue and maybe a little paint for
fancy and you have wildcrafted Christmas ! Click
Here to begin!
I have made St. Nicholas art
dolls for many years.
Here is my latest one ~ Sep
2009
His head and hands are made
from polymers that I carved and baked.
I make a wire armature to hold
him up, then stuff and shape him.
The stuffing was cotton I picked
last summer.
I used an old rabbit fur I
had and all the things he has are scraps and plant material.
He is depicted making wreaths
of wild plants.
I find many of my characters
end up doing what i am doing!
I ended up not making wreaths
just from a storage and space problem.
