Today, a ladle with a creeping ivy vine joins the other two.
Here's one of Larkin's collection that is a little less traditionally culinary! English ivy is toxic to humans (and many other living things), but it's a pretty impressive air purifier and apparently has been used in small amounts by herbalists for years to combat breathing problems and other complaints.
One of Larkin's favorite aesthetics is man-made items being slowly re-claimed by nature. Ivy is certainly a master of this, which may explain why it shows up in their work regularly. 😉
Larkin likes ivy's tenacity and clingy creepy crawly growth habit, but is wondering if it really belongs in this particular collection. What do you think-- should they stick with more traditional culinary elements or embrace the invasive creeper?
