| Mostly Ivy, formed slightly square. |
A tree limb fell from a dying tree during a wind storm earlier this year and brought down a large amount of ivy with it. I thought I would take it and add some to it to weave a moderate wreath. As it turns out, there was more than enough to make the wreath and with a little left over, I went about the house finding more vine needing to be cut away from hedges and shrubs, and made a secon one of mostly grapevine. Then as I pulled back the vines that have overrun their bounds, of vinca and ivy and something hardy that my mother gave me, I discovered the short lengths made very good plate size wreaths. It's fairly quick to do, and very easy, so I shall try to keep abreast of it throughout the summer and fall, and use the vine to constuct as many as I have leisurely hours to make.

Grapevine To have them dry quickly, I could put them in the attic, but I am enjoying seeing them in the garden and they do add a bit of dressing to the wood pile. I will like it very much when there are quite a few more. |
