Birds of a Feather – A few photo’s from Weeping Willow’s first shoot
+
To get to the end we need to start at the beginning. I mean the very beginning.
The Weeping Willow story actually begins with a little girl, her Nan, and a big Willow tree that was even older than both of them.
Nan, a true Gypsy at heart, grew up travelling and working in the lush green hop fields of Tasmania. I believe this is why I constantly feel the need to be free and travel barefoot around the world, it’s in my blood!!!
Every summer when the weather was too hot the only place to get some shade would be under the big old Willow tree near the beach. Nan would lay out a rug and give me all types of coloured gemstones and feathers from the peacocks, macaws, love birds and other parrots she bred. We would sit there for hours, barefoot and feathers in our hair, listening to the waves, smelling daisys in the air, and making what she called “little gypsy treasures” until it was dark.
Hence, my love of all things feather, leather and stone was born.
Without the free-spirited influence of my Nan under the old Willow Tree, the label Weeping Willow may never have been born.
