Thank you for blog hopping around the world and stopping by in Australia. Hope you enjoy your travels.
The leaf I choose to feature is the variegated holly.
And as I love wreaths and it is close to Christmas, I decided to make the wreath below.
And as I love wreaths and it is close to Christmas, I decided to make the wreath below.
I have a lovely old book published in 1950 called "A Wreath of Flower Legends" by Rose Sydenham Dugdale for inspiration and it has a Norse legend about the holly.
There are many legends surrounding the holly and its red berries. Quite often in various stories, the vivid berry is depicting blood.

ReplyDeleteOh Bronwyn, the project you chose is so unique. I too am fascinated by all the legends of the holly leaf. I think it is the hardest quilled shape to make and yours are all perfect. Thanks for sharing, I love your wreath project!
