TECHNIQUE:
This is a versatile technique in which formal or random
patterns are created by tying or gluing components
together.
The Crosshatching may be used as a container or staging
or as a specific component or embellishment within
your design. It may be rigid or flexible and of any
shape.
SELECTION:
Select linear plant material with good keeping qualities
such as flax, reeds, steel or bear grass, pine needles,
sticks etc. Components other than plant material
may also be used eg. plastic straws. Use your imagination
and create an original work of art using this technique.
FASTENINGS:
It is important to have neat
ties and fastenings. Decorative wires, cable ties,
hot or cold glue can all be used as fastenings.
Remember
if using fresh plant material it will contract as it
dries and the tied fastenings will loosen.
