birch heart


among all the things i had showed here, there was probably not a single one that you can do yourself. so, seeing this useful piece of art, i have decided to present it to you as a possible idea for the upcoming holidays.

my mother-in-law went to a workshop organized by a renown english artist of slovenian origin, nada pedley, and the resulting object was presented to my wife. we both loved it. although simple, it is nice, useful and - natural, of course. now you can make yourself one, or as a gift for the seasonal exchanges.

as i am informed, this can be done using birch twigs. reasoning on my own, willows have also pliable shoots, but yes, colour and volume speak in favour of birch.

the birch heart is decorational on its own, but you can use it as a base for a flower arrangement in whatever way you wish. have fun.

nada pedley designes special old-fashioned porcelain dolls and objects, and as i heard only last week, her artwork atracted the attention of the british royal family, so some of those went through their hands.
