String of Onions
« on: June 19, 2018, 09:11:02 PM »
So I had some old Laburnum laying around. Too small for apples and I did not fancy making mushrooms/toadstools, then I spotted some raffia and...

Just a bit of fun so C&C as you will, and thanks for looking.

They look great Dragonfly.  Although it does read as if you are obsessing with food at the minute, hope Mrs D doesn't have you on a diet.

That is just great and so different from other items made from those small pieces

No diet, but strangely I did go in for lunch really fancying a Cheese & onion sandwich.

Thank you guy's, they went down well at the club as well.

Strangely the hardest thing was working out how to plat them together whilst still adding each as the length of the tops got smaller.

Now I'm wondering what else I can turn to be a little different.
