A meeting is set with the Hoyt's at this point. 

 

Ideas to date include:

 

Posts: tying into bundles would create a strong post that might be applied to various projects, such as furniture and building. 

 

Furniture:

 

Matts:  sewing into matts (with a type of sewing machine used in Europe to make matt products used in natural building, landscaping, etc.)

 

Broom: 

 

Natural Building:  tipi shape, lean-to. Horizontal Wall infill. See page 20 of "Shelters Shacks and Shanties" for Twig Shack. 

 

 

Resources:

 

"A Book About Grass", Mary Hunt Kahlenberg

People: Hoyt's, C. Fink
