The tree was badly storm damaged before we moved here and i think it is dyeing. i will have to think about it. i do have a solar dyed silk that did not go to plan. I may wrap it in that as it breathes more and would be kinder to the tree.Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101808317736275755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872550165815178618.post-19724883098715074112011-01-09T06:29:12.497-08:002011-01-09T06:29:12.497-08:00Lovely!

I don't think they will in anyway harm the tree or the species that live on them. Afterall if you see permaculture and paper card and old carpets that are used, all sorts of bugs and wildlife thrive underneath them.Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101808317736275755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872550165815178618.post-17068217311488493162011-01-09T05:21:46.539-08:002011-01-09T05:21:46.539-08:00interesting project, but I wonder if this is reall...interesting project, but I wonder if this is really a good thing for the trees and the creatures that live on them?Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872550165815178618.post-8051806544047202972011-01-09T02:03:50.538-08:002011-01-09T02:03:50.538-08:00Hello Shadow - Thank you, yes I will update every ...Hello Shadow - Thank you, yes I will update every few months and then eventually turn the cotton into something. <br /><br />Thank you Janine. I've just been looking at your poem cloth. So pretty. I love the process.<br /><br />Laura, I had fun flower pounding and bundling last year so am very excited to see what a wrap will bring. <br /><br />Hello Poetic Artist - Yes, thats a lovely imagery. It will be fun to see :) <br /><br />Thank you Kris. You can see some wrapped trees a few months down the line by visiting the Wrapt Trees link. They have been playing with some wonderful dye giving trees. <br /><br />Hi Tricks - Thats a great idea. I will pass your idea on to The Woodland Trust. I have not heard of Christo's project. I am intrigued. :)Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101808317736275755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872550165815178618.post-6921004923464396792011-01-08T22:49:51.719-08:002011-01-08T22:49:51.719-08:00Hi I have just signed the petition and posted a re...Hi I have just signed the petition and posted a request to my facebook I do hope you get enough signatures. <br /><br />I was looking at this idea of yours wrapping trees. Can you not use this symbolically in the campaign to get the publicity. <br /><br />Do what Christo did He wrapped large things like Islands etc... It could really work to get peoples attention. Wrap up a forest who knows symbolically it only needs to happen for a very short time just to take some photos. Better still if Christo is still around ask him to come over here to do it for us as he is the expert. You could pass this on to the organisers of the campaign to see if they think it would work. Now I must go and take a look at what you produce from your wrappings. Happy New Year Tricia :) :)xxTrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04139963235950571852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872550165815178618.post-29880271687829312422011-01-08T18:50:16.172-08:002011-01-08T18:50:16.172-08:00This is a fabulous project!

I think you leave the cotton wrappers on for as long as your patience and circumstances will allow or at least until the weathered fabrics look interesting. They could be on for several months.Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101808317736275755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872550165815178618.post-23153856231542996042011-01-08T10:16:01.122-08:002011-01-08T10:16:01.122-08:00What an interesting idea Jasmine I have not heard ...What an interesting idea Jasmine I have not heard of wrapping trees before, I am sure eventually you will get some amazing colours and patterns from this.
