#Dogbane harvest a couple of years ago. #Forage for wild fibers for your crafting projects and you might be pleasantly suprised at what you find. You can compost the chips on the garden. However, this kind of bast fiber work is very dusty. Have a good vacume on hand! #Foragedfibers #Fibercraft #DIY

Three coiled baskets. The large basket is made from pine needles woven with palm, the pink basket is made from fabric scraps, woven with string, and the multi-colored basket is made from strips of newspaper woven with string. #wildbasketry #foragedfibers #reuse
