Yesterday, my friend called to collect me to go to esparto grass class.
We went along and made brushes from palm leaves and used canes for the broom shank
 |
| the brush bit.. |
 |
| sorting palm leaves to make the bristles |
 |
| tying the leaves onto the shank |
 |
| threading leaves together |
 |
| concentration.. |
 |
| beginning to cut a hole through the shank |
We all managed to make a broom each, which we took home. Everyone I met has said how these were all there were to use years ago. People made them to sell too .
I thoroughly enjoyed making my brush, and I just need to hang it up in the house now.
Got up today at 7.30am... and painted the small roof terrace in the cool morning air, It now looks whiter than white :D
