Shadow Shot Sunday

Flowery shadows-can you guess what they are cast by? This is the first time I have bought something just for shadow shot Sunday!


It is from Greenwich market and was so cheap,


but contains so much work. It is a mystery to me how it was made-so clever!


And a good use of string I think.


A circular string mat of intricate woven flowers.


If anyone has seen one of these before, or knows the technique I would be interested to hear.

  1. Both the shadows and the original "art" are exquisite.

    WONDERFUL NONSENSE

    A shadow’s a wonderful thing;
    O listen! Can you hear it sing?
    It tells of a time
    Before there was crime—
    Trust that and you’ll trust anything!

  2. Mmmm, I think you're straying into macrame territory there! Lovely shadows. It's rained for a week solid here...

  5. Very pretty - I would have said macrame too, but with raffia.

  6. This string design is very cool.
    I wondered at first whether it wold be raffia.

    Such vile weather here in NY
    Hope it's better in England!
