About this title

Synopsis

Describes straw weaving projects including the Celtic knot, glory braid, Celtic harp, folk angel, and King Arthur's wain

Reviews

In addition to its practical uses, most notably as hat or mat material, wheat straw has been woven into folk figures to celebrate the harvest since ancient times. These abstract figures, usually with the grain heads still attached, are the basis of the projects in this book. Wheat stems are woven into wall or door decorations using macrame techniques. The simpler ones may also be hung outdoors as an offering for the birds. A "preparations" chapter discusses the different kinds of grain that may be used and supplies needed for the work. The projects that follow are inspired by designs from many countries and have step-by-step instructions with excellent color photographs of the finished items. This is a good addition to a nature crafts collection.
