Large Round Reed Flowers





During the July Central Pennsylvania Basket Weavers Guild meeting, members wove a simple square basket with a handle for this years service project.  The completed baskets will be filled with toiletries and delivered to the VA  Family House in Pittsburg.






After lunch member Marilyn Julius lead us in making large reed flowers for outdoors.  We used dyed #7 round reed to form the petals  and #3 round reed to create the flowers center.  The flowers were attached to a 1/2" dowel to serve as the stem.    It was suggested to seal the reed flowers with a poly spray before "planting" them out doors.  I also painted my stem green.
