Winter :: Branches
I enjoy making our home reflect the rhythm of the seasons. Outdoors, most trees are bare and one can admire their scultural beauty. Indoors, branches have room to breathe and will hopefully bloom in the near future. In addition to the crab apple branches on the mantel, I cut some cherry and pear twigs and put them in water. And I couldn’t resist making a new wreath for our dining room.

Winter :: White January
In 2011, Fridays are going to be dedicated to celebrating the seasons of the year. I’ve always enjoyed the seasons but ever since I moved to the English countryside I started spotting differences in what surronds me not every three months, like before, but nearly every week.
I’ve always paired months with colours. For me, January is a white month. And April is yellow, October orange and December red.
January is white because I always feel the need to detox from everything Christmas-related. On the other hand, there’s snow, the trees are bare and there’s a lot of void in nature. Inspired by all of that I made this Winter wreath for our front door: I picked some silvery branches from a bush in our garden – I can’t name it but its leaves remind me of an olive tree – and then added some white berries picked from a hedgerow. The wreath was made using this technique.
