When I re-discovered this wooden ‘accordeon-like’ cage, I first thought of using it as a base for a skirt, but when I placed it on my shoulders, I liked that idea better. After securing a wreath base to it, I decorated it with digitalis, asclepia, succulents, blackberries, spider plant, hebe, sedum, seedpods of nigella, physalis and poppies, …Defoliated stems with tendrils of passion vine, add some whimsy to the wooden cage.
