Jag höll ju nästan på att glömma! Samma vän som fick brandfilten fick ju faktiskt en handborste också! Handgjord så klart! Tekniken satt i efter kursen jag gick i februari, tråden lät som en fiolsträng när jag band den, och jag måste verkligen säga att jag tycker om att göra borstar också. Men det kräver lite koncentration och tvärtemot broderiet går det inte att släppa taget mitt i, då får man backa en bra bit och börja om med nya tag. Men vad gör det, det är ändå ett roligt hantverk som jag kommer att jobba vidare med.

I almost forgot! The same friend who got the fire blanket actually received a hand brush too! Handmade, of course! The thread sounded like a violin string when I tied, without breaking so i guess the technique stuck with me after the course I took in February. I really must say i'm happy it did, I really enjoyed making the brush as well. But it does require a bit of concentration, and unlike embroidery, you can’t just let go in the middle of it; if you do, you have to backtrack quite a bit and start again with fresh energy. But that’s okay—it’s still a fun craft that I intend to keep doing.

Flower Face - #Blodeuwedd

by Ardd Fotaneg, 2017

"There are many places that I love in the Garden one of which is ‘#FairyWoods’. Wandering through the woods you can see fairy doors in the tree trunks, their toadstool houses and even the remnants of a fairy tea party. I think I even saw a fairy once, hidden in the dell which reminded me of Blodeuwedd.

Blodeuwedd is one of the many tales to be found in the Mabinogion. The Mabinogion is a collection of ancient Welsh legends, myths and tales.

"Blodeuwedd was created by the relatives of Llew, the son of Arianrhod. Arianrhod had decreed that Llew could not marry a mortal woman; if he didn’t marry then he couldn’t own the land to which he was entitled. The Magicians, Math and Gwydion created a beautiful woman from nine flowers amongst which were #Oak, #Broom, #Primrose and #Meadowsweet. They called their creation ‘Blodeuwedd’ meaning ‘Flower face’. Blodeuwedd is also the ancient name for the Owl into which she was turned, after betraying her husband, Llew.

"Blodeuwedd is considered by some to be the Welsh Goddess of Spring bringing warmth and new life, in the form of flowers, after the cold and barrenness of winter.

"#Flowers are the symbol of Blodeuwedd; they demonstrate their beauty when they blossom and their resilience when they flower again in the #springtime. I feel the plants throughout the Botanic Garden of Wales display in its own way the beauty, the strength and the determination – sometimes with a little coaxing from Horti – of the plant world from which Blodeuwedd was created.

"The spirit of Blodeuwedd can be found in the in the Garden of Wales and although the ‘fairy’ that I saw in Fairy Woods has flown away for the winter she is now emerging wearing her Snowdrop costume heralding once again the return of Spring. Why not send her a letter or a picture that you have drawn and post it in the fairy post box in Fairy Woods?

"You see there really are fairies at the bottom of the Garden and if you are quick you might catch sight of her in the Great Glasshouse."

Jag köpte hem lite material till borstar efter workshopen på Syfestivalen.
Här är första borsten som jag gjort hemma, på helt egen hand. Tråden lät som en fiolsträng (eller typ, den sjöng men förstås inte med samma klang) när jag band den. Det var så roligt att binda den! Nu har jag dessutom skaffat en speciell avbitare för att skära av toppen på den, mycket enklare än med en sax eller kniv hur kraftiga och vassa de än är.

Just den här borsten blev en liten födelsedagspresent till en god vän.

I bought some material for brooms after the workshop at the Sew and craft fair i was in a couple of weeks ago.
Here is the first broom that i did at home, all by my self. The cord sounded like a violin (kind of, it sang but ofc not as beautiful) when i made the broom. It was so fun to do it again! And now i actually got myself a special tool for cutting the top, much easier than with a scissor or knife, how sharp they ever are.

This particular broom became a birthday present for a good friend.

June 2022: #Work in progress. Interior of our #rustic old #stable #barn. The room has rough, aged wooden beams and planks, with limed stone wall featuring small windows that let in #natural light. A #handmade #broom with a wooden handle and straw bristles leans against one of the posts. The floor appears dusty and covered in dirt.

I just want a #broom made of #NaturalFibres for sweeping our timber floors. Finding one is proving more difficult than I had imagined.
