Plant - Buttercup
Location - Wilder parts of the garden
Notes - This has such long stems where it is growing amongst the plantain
that I thought I would try it too. It is still amazing to me how stems like these,
which are so fragile and brittle when alive become strong and pliable when
dry. This was very fiddly to make with all the fine flower heads getting
entangled with the stems as I twisted them round.
make a rope a day....100 ropes / 50 plants NEW - exhibited NOW for 2012 they will be at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in Sleat on the Isle of Skye from Sat 4th Feb to Mon 16th April These ropes are an exploration of plants, of place, and of my personal responses to these through the making of them. 100 ropes/ 50 plants was exhibited in Inverness museum and art gallery in July/ August 2011 and at the SNH headquarters Great Glen house Inverness Sept/Oct 2011.
