ليتك تشرح كيف تم معالجة هذه العصي، واسم الشجرة وتنقلنا الاحساس بالطبيعة وانت تقطف هذه العصي أو العيدان وتعالجها للاستخدام❤

Well, I have bought my willow as it is. But I know they are harvested by machine, then boiled for some time, before going through a machine that takes off the bark. And then sorted into different lengths.

Very well explained...Vielen Dank !!!

[@Basket_Case_1]

Thank you :) Sometimes I feel that my explanations are too slow and boring...

Hello what is the diameter of the base sticks and the others?thankyou

[@Basket_Case_1]

I'm not sure about the actual number, but the base sticks are basically the thickest part of the basket. They need to be slightly thicker than the uprights that will later be inserted into the base. That way you can insert easily. Often times you will cut these base sticks off from the butt of your uprights. I have a video where I talk about this. I really should upload it to my channel...

Hello, I‘m so happy to see that you posted videos again! (Or am I wrong, that you are the one who had another channel, I think under the name „online basketry“?) Greetings, Sue

[@Basket_Case_1]

Thank you Sue :) Yes, you're right. I had another channel which I've deleted. But recently I felt that it's a shame my videos aren't published. I put a lot of work making them.

@@Basket_Case_1 I can’t tell you how much I learned from these videos when I started basket making. I think it is about 3 years ago that I startet with rattan baskets and your videos. A year later I changed to willow. About 6 months ago I wanted to come back and see the „braided border video“ and it was gone. Sure, there are many other videos in KZbin to teach this, and I managed to weave a braided border, but none of them is so detailed and so much information like yours. So I started searching for you in the internet, KZbin, instagram,… On Sunday one of the videos popped up in my KZbin feed! And I am so happy! I also learned a lot by looking at the pictures of your baskets on your website. They are gorgeous! Do you also have a new website? Best wishes, Sue

@@susannet7196 Happy to learn how much my work is appreciated. I've deleted my website, along with all of my social platforms. At the time, I just wanted to disappear...

Do you usually work with salix purpurea or alba or viminalis?

[@Basket_Case_1]

I work mostly with purpurea, but not because of any particular preference. It's just what I was able to acquire.

[@hanankhalaf8813]

ما اسم العصي الرفيعة؟؟؟

[@Basket_Case_1]

These are willow branches.

[@Basket_Case_1]

I'm not always sure what variety I'm using. I think most of my material is purpurea though.
