Off to a conference to teach pine needle basketry

1/2 Before #FastFashion, with irresponsible exploitation of ressources and workers, people invented ingenious methods to develop #naturalFibres.
I made #plantFibres myself by hand and it is indeed #slowFashion! The black hair is from a neighbour's #horse, the greyish one I combed with a dog comb from #hemp. The #fibre waste I donate to the birds. Now I feel the urge in former times to invent machines for such a slog! #culturalHeritage #fibreArts #fiberArts @fibrearts @fiberarts
