Ahh i just needed a few more seconds. Im doing a hazel fence with 1-2" rods and going to use this pattern

Please keep your Camera on the work, only on the lady when she is not working, the in and outzooming is very distracting.......I like the weaving a lot!❤

Is new growth on the way up to the top removed as it grows thanks

Your tutorial was absolutely brilliant. So clear with great videography to help me understand the process. I have only just started looking into basket making and would love to learn. I am from the uk but now live in New Zealand. Im heading back over Christmas (2024) for a couple of months. Will or can you provide lessons? Also do you know of any other alternative to willow that i could use. I think it maybe hard to source here. Willow is definitely calling me however.

Cheer~~~split or sever (something), especially along a natural line or grain.😊

Where do you buy willow?

Thank you for helping me.

I LOVE THIS!! Hello from Lake Charles Louisiana, America❤❤

FAB ! Such a lovely, educational and thorough example of such a delightful art form. Appreciated, thank you.

Your doing such a wonderful job. Here in Kansas, we don't have available willow. I love the style of these baskets. I just need something that is available here!

This is a wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much! All the necessary details but not too much. I worked with unsorted and uneven material and not enough to be choosy, so the result is rather wonky. But it IS a basket. My very first 😊

Following from Northern BC Canada. We are surrounded by wild willow here! All different colors to ,thanks for sharing your craft 🌾

I made my first willow basket using your videos. I love that you go slow, explain everything perfectly, and that you timestamped it as well. I appreciate you as well as your channel ❤❤❤

How long does it stay pliable ?

Thank you for such a good description. It really helps me who cant afford to take a course. You are excellent in teaching. Lots of love.

Well... thanks for the "to the point" showing! You made me start my first try today! Thank you for your video!!

realy nice. Thanks

You’re the best teacher ever! Thank you

Thank you for all the wonderful advice! I was disappointed not to see a finished tree after it is established.

Thanks to you I started this wonderful journey for the first time🙏

You are a good teacher

I'd imagine the hoops being woven in would look nice. Like when you reached the height you want your hoop at, put every second rod into the hoop, the others out, then pull it down and continue weaving. Should hold it firmly in place so it won't drop down when drying out.

really well thought out videos. im ready to have a crack at my first basket 👍 Was wondering as well if there are any other woods that can be used as an alternative to willow with this method of basket making?

It's just amazing what a talented person you are, and the explanation is sooooo brilliant ❤❤❤❤

Absolutely LOVE your videos - so clear and precise, thank you 😍

This is an incredible video with so many helpful tips - thank you so much! Borders have caused me so much stress in my basketweaving journey. Do you have any advice for coming back the next day to finish the border? I usually do a wet towel wrapped around the parts that will bend. But they often still kink.

I can not find a patten for a bordering board or other obelisk jigs. do you have plans? Thank you

Your videos are really informative! I have an abundance of forsythia bushes. I wonder if you could use those to weave a basket. I'll have to try!

When using living willows for live harlequin trees, do you clean off all the buds that grow on the rod stems? or do you treat the stems (except the tops) before you start so the buds stop growing?

Good video. Thanks.

Thank you soo much for an excellent video, detailed, clear, great zoom in and wonderful to know what each part is called. I feel ready to start😊. The willow you are using, have you dried it first and then rehydrate it?

Really beautiful, i can't wait to try. Thank you!

How much willow does it generally take to make a panel?

(Sorry I can’t understand what the tool is called? Please tell me) thank you 🙏

Thank you for tutorial

This series is absolutely lovely. It takes a good craftswoman to make a beautiful basket, but it takes a marvellous teacher to show me how to make one! Thank you very much. 😊

Yeah, but how does it look when in leaf?

I have never seen anything like this before, found it fascinating! Thank you for this beautifully made and presented instructional video!

Hi there, loved watching this. Can I ask where would I buy a set of Bodkins from - can you recommend any other useful tools for willow work and weaving please. Many thanks.

Thank you for posting this reindeer lesson. Your directions were crystal clear, the visuals were fine, the pictures with measurements sure helped, and you made it seem do-able. The trick for me will be finding willow or dogwood or whatever to do the weaving. But your end result was quite appealing so I want to do it. Thanks for the instruction and inspiration.

Brilliant! 👏👏👏Thank you for sharing! 😊

imi puteti scrie cand si in ce anotimp trebuie culese betele de salcie pentru impletit?

Amazing tutorial. Yu are a great teacher ❤ thanks so much i will be trying this xx wears best to buy the willow. Many thanks x

I cannot find part 4 to finish the top of the basket. Great instruction so far.

Very impressive tutorial, thank you for sharing.

This is an excellent tutorial, thank you so much!

Toggles of loveliness lol

Why?

I noticed you are using fresh willow instead of dried then soaked willow. That causes loose baskets when the willow dries out. I can't recommend using fresh green willow. First dry then soak then make your basket. Ive done baskets from fresh wild grape vine and they got super loose after they dried. All my previous small willow baskets became quite loose after they dried. Drying first is a must to pre-shrink your rods of what ever you are using then soak until pliable enough to weave without breaking or cracking. Good job on the tutorial except the use of green fresh willow.

😍👌👏🙏❤
