Weave an ivy basket with me | vlog ✳︎

[@Knitterbug]

I am definitely the silent watcher, generally speaking. I love the watching other makers! ❤

[@megans1994]

I’m usually a silent viewer - I watch from the high desert in the USA and you’re one of my favorites on KZbin. I have some interest in foraging, wildcrafting, baskets, herbalism, etc., but as I’m chronically ill I don’t usually get very far when walking or hiking. Your videos are a way for me to still enjoy the vibes from my couch. I haven’t been able to read much in the last few years, but I’m working my way very slowly through Braiding Sweetgrass, which I saw you recommended on your other video. I’ll have to check out your patreon!

[@valentia1752]

To answer your question, I’m interested in weaving English ivy because it’s an invasive species here in the USA. Very passionate about sustainable living/ living with natural materials.

[@withoutdoors5230]

I’m a green woodworker. Mainly pots, sooons and bowls. Always admired the patience it takes to make a basket from foraged materials! Hope to have a go sometime soon with ivy after seeing this.😊 Great video. It would be cool to see you gathering some (you might have that I’ve only just stumbled across your channel ) keep it up 🤗

[@ravennorejko4492]

I’m sooo happy I discovered your vlog this morning! You are a delight! I’m a forager, a dabbling weaver of both fibers and flora. I love my stuff to be rustic and wild, loose and spontaneous and I love everything I’m seeing here! 💖💖💖

[@ForagingGardener]

looovely! happy you made your way here :-) thank you so much

[@lostinaveyron2279]

Really pleasant vibe to this video and you made a beautiful basket. I hope it will get lighter as it dries out? About fiction books well I really love the Wizards First Rule by Terry Goodkind, there is also the free audio version on KZbin 😊

[@joysmith1213]

Glad i found you❤ Enjoy your instruction. You remind me of myself though I'm nearing 70!Look forward to checking out your other videos. I'm a knitter, crocheter, potter and paper clay mache, weaver amongst any other natural material craft. I sing and humm as i work. Love your music, too.

Thank you for taking the time to film these videos! I’m usually a silent viewer but I just love all of your videos. They help me be more productive and at the same time make me feel more calm. Greetings from Germany

Pretty basket ✨

[@Divinemessages69]

At last a kindred spirit :) I love everything about nature and using everything I can find to make art and crafts, also a self taught artist from very young, I am glad I found your channel, I have a ton of Ivy that needs to be taken under control and I have been collecting the vines to do just this project. Thank you for sharing your time with us and your beautiful basket which I love! Blessed Be!

[@jessicacooper5472]

Thank you for sharing this video, it’s so helpful and I’ve been searching for a video just like this 💚 I work at a Forest school for preschoolers and I’ve made a couple baskets for the children and learning/making it up as I go. This will definitely help my future basket making endeavors. I’m very interested in learning more about invasive species basketry. Love your channel! 💚

[@ForagingGardener]

aw that’s so lovely:) Thank you!

[@Moorandmist]

I absolutely loved Hare house! I loved how slow and subtle it is. I couldn’t put it down when I read it. Your basket is lovely ❤

[@geneveiveharper]

If Drew Barrymore was a tenor 😁 Next you should weave a couch like the one at your friend's house!

[@amymeyer3658]

You're not wrong!

[@dueschen_]

A lovely Video, Hana! I am in love with your whimsical home!!!❤

[@meepitydoodle]

ooooohhhh yesss it turned out soooo lovely!! I've woven one little wonky basket with ivy as the frame thingy, and then nettle and plantain cordage as the weaving material (if any of that makes sense). I recently made a few little tiny pine baskets which smell so piny and wonderful! Need to gather more ivy to make a big basket! Anyway, happy weaving and sorry for the lengthy comment!

[@meepitydoodle]

OH also books!! I'm the oposite and can't get into non-fiction. I think you'd really enjoy The Dark is Rising Sequence, or maybe The Mirror Visitor quartet if you're up for something strange and different

[@cjpbubbles]

That looks like a really nice yarn basket lol

[@theresaliebert3966]

Thank you for another lovely video! Would you vlog your seed starting process this Spring?

[@cerridwencottagediary9194]

It looks so pretty but maybe better for storing wool or crystals at home. I really enjoyed watching the process and whenever you release a video it's a good day x

[@lisascenic]

Hello from the San Francisco Bay Area! I’m a theatrical scenic artist, and manage the scenic art studio for a large regional theater. I get a lot of joy making things with found materials. I particularly like working with invasive species or things I’ve grown in my tiny urban back garden.

[@lisaparris5]

I tend to be the silent viewer as well. I recently took a basket making class. Ours was this same style. I am fascinated by the possibilities and am here to learn from others.

[@IAMGiftbearer]

I do various types of artwork and am just getting started with basket weaving. Currently I'm using Muscadine vine which is not very flexible, so am lookin into something easier to work with. I also wild forage. I have tons of ivy growing in my yard but other than what is stuck on trees I have never seen ivy vines that thick as you're using for the spokes! Do you find it on the ground or do you have to pull it off of trees? Also, you mentioned you soak your ivy vines for a day or two. After that do you let it dry before weaving or weave it when still wet?

[@ForagingGardener]

@@IAMGiftbearer Lovely! I weave while the materials are still wet:) usually I forage from high walls or buildings !

[@Itsmeemily94]

Could you weave with fresh ivy?? I'm clearing a big patch at my dad's and I was wondering if I used dried sticks, and fresh ivy, would that perhaps work..? Also new to your channel, thankyou for sharing your talents 🎉 Edit: just got to 17mins in and guess that question is now answered 😅

[@ForagingGardener]

aw haha 🤍 hope it goes weelll

[@ForagingGardener]

A couple of novel recommendations for u :) - The Starless Sea by Erin Morgensten - A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers - Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

[@pibarrante6901]

Life's too short for bad fiction!

[@pibarrante6901]

Beautifully crafted - video and basket. BOOK!! Novel ? An American author - Barbara Kingsolver for a fellow flower farmer/naturalist of sorts, I'd recommend PRODIGAL SUMMER . I'd also recommend Animal Vegetable Mineral, and ** The Poisonwood Bible... all by same writer. She's very popular here in states. (P. Bible is exceptional story by her). TOM ROBBINS is a delicious writer... I started with Jitterbug Perfume. Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas was maybe my other fav by him. He's best word smith ever. AND for the environmentalists, sad, deep and true story... NEVER CRY WOLF by Farley Mowatt. (Biography.., true reporting of canadas tx of wolves. He writes other books, People of the Deer - regarding Can tx of indigenous people).

you could hot glue and save your basket
