Autumn Prairie Loom

It's really not rocket science. It's nature art!
​

• Find yourself a nice vine or twig or branch that has at least one V. I made my frame out of honeysuckle. I do not feel bad about harvesting a branch cut from the bush because Japanese honeysuckle is a brute. An invasive that just keep spreading through our native habitat and choking out our local plant biodiversity. And, it's more flexible when it's green.
• I tied mine together into an arcing eye shape but you can leave it a Y or V shape if you prefer, or if you can't bend your branch.
• Once the end is tied (or not), begin to weave the string of your choice from side to side, forming a continuous W, back and forth from one end of your loom to the other, wrapping it a couple times before moving on. 
• Then, go out in your garden, the prairie, a field, and gather a few stalks of in-season plants, flowers, and seed heads. 
• Weave them into your loom from the base of their stem pulling through so not to ruffle the foliage in the wrong direction.
• Carry as your wand of power or hang as decor.
