Soooo beautiful I would hang them all over my living room
brilliant! xooxoxoxo
How tallented, don,t let this craft be lost.
It's laughable that a lot of people here are complaining that a video less than 8 minutes long (which was clear before watching) didn't teach them how to make a basket from start to finish. If you want to know how to really make a basket you need to go on a course with an instructor. Until you feel those willow wands bending with your own fingers you won't understand. You won't get it from a video. Or the wonderful smell that willow gives off. So get off your backside and go and do it!
very therapeutic for mental heath & was used as part of my "reconnecting again" "healing"
