Traditional dried flower crafts & corn dollies
Posted on October 13, 2012 by Ruth in Lavender craftTraditional Dried Flower Craft
Thank you to Glynn for sending in this photo of corn dolls and a vase made from straw and lavender. He manipulated some stems from dried lavender bunches into the shape he needed for the dress and body of the doll by soaking in hot water before use. He is obviously a very talented crafter and other designs he has made with dried flowers and corn include a harvest cross and horseshoe.

About
I'm Ruth and have been blogging on dried flowers for a few years - I enjoy drying flowers from my garden in my spare time, and crafting with them.
I have a dried flower shop at daisyshop.co.uk which I naturally mention throughout this site - after all I'm very proud of it!
Other interests which I may mention from time to time are The Herb Society - I set up their blog and write articles from time to time. I also love wildflowers.
