Foraging Nettles

Sharing my first attempt at foraging nettles without being stung! Alongside generative AI, capturing images and video myself has helped convey an appreciation for Bast fibers. Not only did I manage to extract fiber from the stalk, but the leaves also made great tea 🍵. The biggest learning, however, was how beautiful nettle flowers really are in bloom. To me they look like lace and the pink color is exquisite!
