I have seen homes that have cat tails for decorations, in fact my Mom at one time had some, but I don't know what happened to them? I know I didn't damage them! ( I have been known to accidentally damage things and we don't need to discuss this anymore!) Up in Alaska we have cat tail but they are not in abundance, so down here in Wisconsin I see lots and lots of them, as there are a lot of swamps and ditches and the like. So when my friend Linda was here I told her about them and she warned that I was going to get wet as that's what cat tails like, well guess what? I got a bunch and didn't get a toe wet! I have to admit that I had to do some serious reaching to get them so that I didn't get wet, I'm sure that as cars drove by people where wondering what that crazy lady was doing in the ditches with the big loppers! I got the coffee pot at a antique store and when I first put the cat tails in there,there was way way to much room, so I filled up the inside with 7 teacups and poked the bottoms of the cat tails in around them, I think that was rather ingenious of me! Now I need to spray them down with hair spray, that's what I have been told to do to keep them from "fluffing"out?
WOW - Krissy is getting crafty. I'm impressed with your newfound creative abilities. You might impress me more though if you straightened the picture behind your new craft project. ps they sell glass marbles thingys at craft stores for stabalizing your plant creations.
ReplyDeleteHow quickly you forget (even if it was 20 years ago this summer!!) but we cut cat tails around where my brother lived in Rifle, CO when we were there on vacation. I cut a bunch of big ones last week and am trying hanging them upside down for awhile before pulling in old milk cans by front door. will also try the hairspray thing. NNN
