I went to a class today taught by the Pima County master gardeners on making a wall hanging from natural materials. Here are some of the dried plants I used, and below is my finished wall hanging. We simply hot glued the dried materials to a board.
The class leader lives on seven acres covered in a variety of trees, shrubs, cacti and flowers. She collected all of the materials from her property and divided them into bins with labels and photos of the plants they came from. There was an enormous selection!
The cholla skeletons are my favorites. You'll find a lot of art in Tucson made with these.
It was a fun way to pass Saturday morning when the temperatures were too hot to do anything outside.
Have a colorful day

Ooh, I love all the materials, especially the cholla skeletons and mesquite bark. What fun, and definitely better than roasting outside.
