Set of three napkin rings made with a five part plait. Each is wrapped with cotton thread. These are samples of an older design and smaller than the usual napkin rings I make. The red and light green rings are slightly larger than the dark green one.
MATERIALS: English rush and cotton thread. The colour of the rush will slowly mellow to a more golden tone over time. Wipe with a damp cloth to clean and leave to air-dry. As this is an organic product, ensure it is not stored in damp conditions.
DIMENSIONS: Red and Light Green: 6cm x 6cm x 3cm, Dark Green: 5cm x 5cm x 2.5cm
Rush weaving and basketry is an endangered craft in the UK, with very few practitioners remaining. Ella fell in love with rush the first time she worked with it and describes her creative process as a collaboration between herself and the material. As no human is the same, neither are the rush stems and Ella chooses to respect each one, working symbiotically with the plant to craft each piece.
