Decorating
Probably
the central theme of so much of what we do, Organic Decorating
is based on the principal that Mother Nature has the greatest
design sense of all, and that we can take her lead and go
on from there.

This
is a very organic looking piece, with 1/4 - 1/2’
twigs fashioned into this very versatile piece. It
will open out to 48” x 36” and can be used
as a room divider, a small animal “gate”,or
maybe a drying rack for wildflowers. Try hanging it
vertically from the ceiling as a more unusual area
divider! |

Although
originally designed to be a winter “banquet”
for the birds, we have found that these make rather
spectacular “tassels” when two or three
of them are hung in a cluster in either a corner
or at the side of a large picture window.

Very
cool - these garlands are on 6 ft. long heavy wire,
and each one is chock full of different pods, all
individually wired on for maximum design flexibility.
Use these to tie back curtains, to swag around a window
sill, to meander across the top of a bookshelf, woven
through a wreath or floral design, etc. Check out
Pod
Garland for
all varieties. |
This
is really an attractive piece. White/grey birch
bark strips are hand wound into this 6” sphere.
We like this used in a mix of other
Botanikal Bundles & Spheres .

This
piece looks like it might have just grown there on
the floor. Rough coconut husk covers the 13”
x 14” basket, with a Coco Twig design on the
side and natural green moss trimming the bottom. Use
this to put rolled up magazines, or maybe a stash
of pinecones for firestarters. |

Organic
decorating incorporates, not just the gatherings
from fields and forest, but also the harvest from
the oceans. Our Feather Murex Tassel/Ties are “drop
dead” gorgeous, and they are both elegant,
yet casual enough to work in any decor. 6-7”
shells are attached to a 88” lampakany fiber
rope.

This
really looks like it could be a clump of miniature
cattails growing in a swamp, but actually they are
combined with our Dakota Grass and wrapped around
a bamboo container insert. Finished off with a tie
of natural raffia, this looks terrific just by itself,
or add some tall, spare material, like Kiwi Sticks
or Horsetail Reed. |

Put
him on a shelf, hang him on a wall, pop him in a
basket, dangle him from a window cord, really, you
can put him just about anywhere that could be improved
with a lobster addition. Llifesize at 12", and best
of all, he is always pleasant to be around from
an olfactory point of view.

Amazing
stuff! Our Linen Bark strips have been laminated onto
a very heavy, 22” x 31” handmade paper,
making a thick, strong product that can be used as
book covers, surfacing (such as on a screen or panel),
or, one of our favorite things, cut into “tile”
pieces and used that way to create an interesting
area on a wall or piece of artwork. Be sure to check
out all of the Architectural Fibre Papers, they are
really unusual and lend themselves to a
LOT of interesting applications! |

DRAMATIC!
And all you have to do is dump a pile of them into
a great looking bowl or basket! These unusual pods
are big, 3-5” and have a natural sheen, or,
you can soak them in water and peel off the outer
skin to reveal a “hairy” surface! We love
these combined with theSlitPomelos

You
really have to see this ribbon to appreciate how gorgeous
it is. Real leaves are laminated onto a heavy paper
backing, then the leaves are hand gilded to accent
their texture. There are loads of uses for this (floral
work, packaging, collage, crafts), but our favorite
is to use this wide, 5” ribbon as a border or
wainscotting band on a wall! |
|
One
of our most popular items, this is really a fabulous
piece! You can use it underfoot (it “crunches”
so you have the added bonus of listening pleasure),
or, at 6-1/2 ft x 9-1/2 ft. it makes the ultimate
statement as a wall covering!

A
light, airy, and definitely "beach house"
feel is created with this ephemeral piece. Natural
abaca fiber is fashioned into a 36" x 96"
curtain, then it is festooned with an assortment
of different seashells. Six abaca fiber loops
are generous enough to accommodate a fairly thick
rod (we think bamboo looks the best). Be sure
to check out our "Abaca & Shell"
Pillow Cover also! |
