I knew the technique but I had never tried this before so this is the first piece I’ve ever made. Surprisingly meditative activity.
I think I’ll try nettles next. Should produce an actually usable product.

Nettles are great! Just dont get the cordage wet, it will get very loose. Maybe there’s a way to treat it against that?
Anyways, rubbing that pile in your hands will release a lot of the green flakey stuff an little knots that remain, if you’ve got the time and patience I recommend it.
