Title: check out my string i made
Post by: mitchman on October 04, 2007, 06:29:20 pm

i made this tonight after messing around with it for a while.
its all milkweed except for the fox fur at the end. i died one of the strands with some purple berries. then twised them togeather. i just htink this is so cool. its just like string. actually i think its a little stronger than most strings(for now.)

for native material in my area i prefer dogbane and milkweed . its stronger than any storebought string out there. dogbane nets  have been found that are dated 5000yrs old and still functional. so it lasts. :)

Great looking string.  Maybe you could show us a picture of the whole thing so we can see it better. I think I can see the fox fur end, but it is so close I'm not sure. Justin
