Folk art and bunting

Remember this folk art bunting for Flow magazine? 
I created a collection of postcards and patterns in the same style.

Decorating and bird scaring

I made these bird scaring devices to hang around the garden.
With fabric remnants, beads and small bells.
I also created these large paper flowers to decorate our gardenclub house for the annual bbq.

Our garden in August

 
Leycesteria formosa (Himalayan Honeysuckle)       Eupatorium and Marshmallow plants
My favorite Cosmos 'Daydream' and Tropaeolum majus (garden nasturtium) 
Lythrum salicaria (Purple loosestrife) 
 
I absolutely adore Scabiosa (pincushion flower)! Eryngium campestre (Field eryngo)
It's almost impossible to take a picture of scabiosa with No bumble bee on it! ♥

Willow weaving. Garden pictures part 2.

We like to use a lot of woven willow structures in our garden.
This is a small hill with a curved fence on top.
 We have 18 woven willow circles with flowers in them.


 This is a 15 m. fence with fruit shrubs and herbs in front of it. 
 Even our entrance gate is made with willow sticks:
