Justine Platt Nesting

Foraged natural materials: grasses, leaves, vines, and naturally dyed eggs 42 x 16 x 6 $425

"These nests are like a village to me, a place where a variety of different homes and personalities are closely gathered and live harmoniously. The spokes of the two smaller baskets are papyrus. Leaves of iris, daffodils, corn, and grasses combine with stems of nettle, honeysuckle vine, and linen twine. Three chicken eggs are dyed with onion skins using the shapes of ferns, winter aconite, and clover. Abandoned bluebird eggs naturally dehydrated. A single, tiny chicken egg is dyed with cabbage skins using wax resist.”
