Thrift store find!

A Bartmann jug. Probably a 20th century replica but it's from Frechen (the original source of these weird and wonderful little vessels in the 16th-18th century).

These jugs have a wild history entwined with early modern trade, decorative fads, early industrial production, and yes, even 17th century witchcraft.

Mine for €1.

#Straw #Weaving#Pentagram Star

"I’m still very into my straw weaving projects! 🙂 This time I did a pentagram star with wheat and rye. I used the same technique in my Lavender Star Tutorial.

Materials:
I used 10 pieces of wheat stalks (available here*) and 5 pieces of rye for my star. For the straw ring you’ll need several straight pieces of straw and some thick floral wire. Additionally I decorated everything with some ribbons."
