Christmas is coming

I have been gradually gathering everything together for some wreath making. Dried artichoke heads, teasels, hydrangeas and honesty have come out of the airing cupboard. Greenery of all description has been gathered along with bare stems, fir cones, bracken, willow for 'skinny wreaths', moss for keeping a degree of moisture, string, ribbons... spray paint! The artichokes with a bit of bronze spray are my favourite at the moment.  

No two wreaths are the same – when we hold our Wreath Workshops I am always amazed at how different they all despite the same materials being available to all.
