woven branches..

my woven star
this morning, one of my neighbors gave me a handful of rosemary. i want to use them for cooking but i also was trying to think of what crafting ideas i could use it in. i've been wanting to make more god's eyes (now called woven branches to me!) but not always using just two sticks. i tried using three for the first time with the red yarn i have (i do need to buy some other colors!).  this is how my woven branches came out...

after a nice little bath, it was time for nat to create her woven branches. here, she begins wrapping the yarn around the twigs.

once she was done, i gave her a box with a few leaves, feathers and of course, rosemary sprigs.

I am here visiting via the crafty crow. I love all your nature inspired art. We do a lot of that here too. We went through a huge God's Eye phase and now I've got to try it again. WE have a long drive ahead of us tomorrow. We may look for a few things to work with a give it a go while hitting the highway. Your blog is lovely. ;)
