As a witchy flax growing, ink making, interested in paper, beginner cordage maker on the upper Sunshine Coast who tells herself the same thing on "wood days" gosh am I ever happy to have found your substack! ❤️
I am fascinated by your work with Winter Daphne/Spurge Laurel , that is a plant that has been the bane of my existence as a gardener and love that you have found a way to use it . So beautiful too .
I was very surprised too! Let me know when you have a patch to cut and I'll come show you how I harvest it. We just need to beware when the sap is running, as it can be a major irritant. But I just cut some a few weeks ago and was able to peel the bark easily with zero sap.

I love your work and fascinated by all your experiments in making paper with local plants. Do you ever offer workshops?
