    Congratulations Marley, it looks wonderful. What do you use as a base to build the vegetation up on? I was thinking of having a go at making one myself

    I like wreaths, personally I like to see the colors of nature rather than spray paint though.

    A mixture of both- the natural colours dotted with a bit of sparkle is delightful.

I remember I had a few to do that year & I took many a lovely walk collecting all the different things I needed, to get the Cedar cones I go to a special place I know..... Looking at it now, it reminds me my of a walks in the woods....:thmb:

    :gnthb: Well Pal & Mrs Pal I hope it may serve you as long as you want.. Enjoy my friends...:)

    you know me...I type too fast and then submit without checking.

    I meant that you are not a million miles away...and that perhaps you could make some more wreaths.:gnthb:

    we have friends we visit quite often who live in Lower Oddington, Morton in Marsh.

    You ought to put in an order Shobhona..My picture really doesn't do it justice.It's a work of art and totally organic. It's actually woven from vines,which along with the decorations are dyed with natural products,the ribbon is silk I believe....and we can't believe how the scent is still so very strong.
