Having used up all my native grasses from the
workshop, I went for a walk along by the river where I had seen lots of spinifex growing. A small amount from a few different plants gave me plenty to work with, and I coiled a wider basket using green crochet cotton to stitch the spinifex. The smell in my bedroom from the spinifex (which is where I was working with it) was really strong and very pleasant. You can see that some of the spinifex has started to seed and I left those pieces in for the interest. (look close to the bottom of the picture on the inside of the basket where there are lighter shades)
