A couple weeks ago, a few of us got together at Hodgepodge to construct chicken wire cloches. I made my first one a few years ago when I participated in a design challenge. We were all given the same product and we had to arrange a display, but we couldn’t use any other vendor’s merchandise—only stuff we made or found at flea markets. That’s when I had the idea to make a cloche out of chicken wire.
They are great for display, but also serve a practical purpose. Nita will be using hers to protect young plants from deer.
We used chicken wire, macramé rings and a loose leaf binding ring from an office supply shop. We had a lot of fun and collaborated to improve the construction process. Here are a few pictures:

Here’s Ryan and another Kendall (what are the odds).

Another fun evening with friends!
Thanks for your indulgence!

What a brilliant idea! These would look great clustered together on an outside buffet with candles or flowers under them. If I can ever get my landscaping in order, I think I will give these a whirl... we have a few big get-togethers planned this summer.
"brilliant?" i don't know about all of that, but i'm glad you liked the idea--i hope you send pics when you're done!
This was a great class - loved it!
