Earth Mother corn dolly made by Carol Patridge. She has many amazing designs on her etsy shop, TheWheatWeaver, but this one is currently on hold. Contact her if you would like one and she’ll put you on a waiting list.

#EveningMake? Grabbed some #phragmites on my way home. Most of the leaves are drying, but I was inspired by some of the coconut palm weaving shown by @okka_wikka and in @given_the_movie to try a woven phrag panel. #leaves #grasses #reed #localmaterials #materialsresearch #invasiveplants #strawweaving #wheatweaving #slowfashion #hartfordfashion #wasteisculture #clothisculture

Adorable folk art - exceptionally rare 19th century French straw work shelves- few of these survive - so prone to damp,fire damage even being consumed over the years by tiny little 🐀 this one is a fine primitive example - new find in our Etsy store #retrocollects #retrocollectsinteriors #strawwork #frenchantique #primitive #folkart #frenchfolkart #rusticstyling #raretreat #shelves #frenchstyle #wheatweaving https://www.instagram.com/p/Bske1ZBl4OU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8zold4ozfshz

Pantheacon swag. Hooray for learning how to wheat weave.

Across the road from my phrag patch, the water table is only held back from the road by a very slight rise. It is a beautiful spot at 8am. Just through the trees is a recently abandoned plant (a relocated electrical components mfr). #wetlandsmismanagement #materialsresearch #invasiveplants #strawweaving #wheatweaving #clothisculture

I'm going to dig around for other interviews to see if there's a direct connection, but I'll point out my observation here: In Sweden, this form of applied fractal geometry is traditionally done using straw to make ornaments and wallhangings for the home. The craft is known as himmeli.

Um. . . . . . To clarify, this is plaited straw [stitched?] together in topographic filigrees. 🌾 🙌🏽 #Repost @bridgetbailey.baileytomlin (@get_repost) ・・・ Lovely day teaching a filigree masterclass yesterday. . . . #filigree#millinery#hats#millineryworkshop#strawbraid#making#handmade #materialsresearch #strawweaving #wheatweaving #traditionalcraft #clothisculture

Working on drudgery today 😒 (gotta pay the bills) but started dissassembling this thrifted wall hanging (back shown here) to sample with. I am very sad that the wheat heads are glued 😱 to the straw plait. 🌾 I'm not sure what type, so I don't even know if I could soak them apart.... but the stems are making great tube beads... 📿To be continued... #materialsresearch #upcycling #strawweaving #wheatweaving #strawplaiting #slowfashion #foundmaterials #wasteisculture #clothisculture

Ask and ye shall receive. Nothing makes me as happy as a bag of trash aka precious recaptured plastic drinking straws, gracias a Don Roberto, who delivered this bag in a matching monochromatic outfit. And taught me one Spanish word for drinking straw: sorbeto. 🍧 Life is beautiful. #trashisbeautiful #wastenot #wasteisculture #localresources #wastestream #closetheloop #neighbors #vecinos #crowdsourced #sorbetos #strawweaving #wheatweaving #beading #embroidery #clothisculture

You can't recycle these in #singlestream towns. 💀 Just say no thanks. Or bring your own glass or stainless. Or snip a piece of fresh #phragmites (see earlier posts). Or choose @aardvarkstraws. #refusethestraw #worldenvironmentday2017 #strawweaving #wheatweaving #strawart #wastenot #materialsresearch #leavenothingbutfootprints

Plastic bath. My roadside flotsam from a few days ago is sanitizing in bleach and detergent. #vernacularmaterials #materialsresearch #parksandwreck #plasticshed #plasticpollution #strawweaving #wheatweaving #materialsrecovery #sustainablefashion #clothisculture

(Focus is wonky but) a phrag stem is very straw like. I broke off some sprouts to see how they hold up, they dried incredibly quickly. They are clearly running that wetlands water to help fuel their crazy growth. #phragmides #invasiveplants #materialsresearch #vernacularmaterials #wastenot #wheatweaving #strawweaving #sustainablefashion #clothisculture

The young phrags in the breeze... you hear a car go by right behind me. 🌾 Through those woods is a 4-lane divided road. #wetlandsmismanagement #inlandwetlands #materialsresearch #vernacularmaterials #invasiveplants #sustainablefashion #strawweaving #wheatweaving #clothisculture
