Nothing says "Bayou" like Spanish moss. A customer requested a piece made with Spanish moss to remind her of her trip to the South. I, of course, obliged. I liked it so well I am making more.

Queen Anne's Lace is one of my favorites, I love how so many tiny flowers make up one larger. Found here on the bayou and dried by layering between the pages of an old dictionary.
