I don’t have to have my wood stacked like this, nor could I, to be satisfied, but I want to do a lot better to spiff up the little realities and necessaries in the garden here to make them fit in better with my natural surroundings.
Cleanup…rake up…wind up… stack up; good goals for this month between the rains. Planting is done, but still work to do.
Now for the fun stuff.
Here is Alastair Heseltine:
You may have seen this woodpile online somewhere and have thought “This must be Martha Stewart’s doing!” And, if you Google “woodpile”, you are sure to see it attached to jokes and in folks’ humorous blog posts.
In actuality, it is Alastair Heseltine’s doing. He’s an artist, living up on Hornsby Island in British Columbia, Canada. He uses willow and wood to weave and stack his art pieces. Here is the Video story and some more of his garden related artwork. Fun!!
He says:
“I am a sculptor working with mixed media relating to the environment. Imagery is guided by the inherent nature of material and by construction systems evolved through mindful observation and play. I also draw from the full spectrum of routines and activities that support my practice: Design, craft production, farming and rural life.”
What an inspiration! It would be fun to try weaving some wood or willow pieces through my sedums like he did. Fun!! Check out the website for some inspiration of your own…
