No cooking today. A bit of play with Mother Nature!

Hanging plants or kokedama

These hanging plants or moss balls are also known as kokedama in Japan.  I do not pretend here to know the best way of making them.  We more of less made it up.  We also watched a few video on you tube, that said, everybody seem to have their own method. The moss balls are relatively easy to do.  You need some sphagnum moss, some good dirt (we mixed some recent compost with some ashes here), some sisal string and a few plants.  The choice of the plant needs to match the area you propose to place them in as for heat, exposure to light and humidity level.

Our dreamcatcher using local found vines

We used local vines to make the round structure, a few shells found on the beach and some feathers of cockatoos found at the top of the island below some tall white gums!

Try and have fun!
