Had a lot of fun today, while waiting for our plant fibers to be soaked, we went color matching in the garden. We found some leaves that match the yellow color slips. I also went back to the hops to get some color match pictures with the green color slips.
Once the plant fibers were ready, we started working on making strings, which was surprisingly not as hard as I thought, and I was doing a decent job with the dandelion stems. I also tried out the corn cobs, but that one didn't end up as what I wanted, so I went back to dandelion stems for more practice, haha.
This was a relaxing activity, and I might even do this in my free time from now on. This also makes me rethink the amount of craftsmanship it takes to create giant ropes from back in the day.
