COTTON FLUFF CRAFT


For the past month this lovely cotton fluff
has been floating through the air like a
gentle dry snowstorm.
There is an abundance of it everywhere I
can't help wondering how I might make use of it.


In just a couple of mornings I have collected
plenty to experiment with. I need
to keep a mesh screen over the box as it
is so light. With the slightest movement of air it
starts to float all about my house.


I collected my cotton from the park near my house.
The cotton congregates along the edges of pathways and waterways alike.


A fairyland on a still spring morning.


I have removed all the cotton fluff from the
seed pods. The pods are from the Black Cottonwood trees.


I mixed the cotton with water in a small blender.


I also added some crushed dried roses that
my husband had given me for valentine's day.



I added blackberry juice and white glue to
the wet fluff I had placed in cookie cutters.

I always keep blackberry juice refrigerated
as I like painting with it.


I also made some of my project plain,
 heart shaped and uncoloured.


I dried them in a low oven. They come out
 light and fluffy.

I also tried making some fluff into "paper."
It didn't hold its shape. "scrapped" that idea!

Already for a craft project.
