Goose grass? Yes, the sticky weed that clogs up borders and scrambles over walls. But apart from being a bit of a thug in the garden it's actually a very pretty little plant with delicate whorls of leaves and tiny white flowers that become sticky seed balls in the late summer.
I've been making a scarf as a birthday present for my friend Louise. I thought this would remind her of summer walks with her dogs. I have printed a tangled motif of goose grass on silk viscose georgette and then applied devore paste to reveal a border of blades of grass. The patterns were cut in paper and screen printed with a bit of kitchen chemistry. I should make more time for printing!
