    thank you! After trimming an Akebia vine, I wanted to use them up in some small baskets in which
    to give away eggs and vegetables. The basketweaving method is too messy for these branches, and this is a much easier way to weave. Down with plastic!...this is a lovely way to give a gift.

    Took a willow course several years ago, planted a patch but never got to it. After stumbling across this video I went out there today, got it all cleaned up and although the willows were very branch-y I was able to cut enough to start a small tray. Getting late in the year for working with hedgerow materials but this is good practice for the winter.

    I loved this! I got so excited to see you post a video with foraged materials- I love watching and learning from you in your videos, but I’ve never worked with willow. I do, however, try to teach myself using whatever materials I have on hand. And now, I’m lucky enough to have a yard full of interesting bushes and plants that I’m experimenting with! So, your timing was perfect (for me), and I’m looking forward to abusing my hedges to make this basket 😂 I’m hoping the kids will enjoy the project, too!
    Thanks again, Hanna!

  • @mrcheese3981
    @mrcheese3981 4 года назад

    Thanks so much for another great instructional video. I'm really glad you posted a video using wild foraged materials, because it's that aspect of basket-making that has always attracted me the most.
    This winter I started making baskets for the first time, and all of them have been from hedgerow materials. In February I took a one-day course on hedgerow basket-making here in France, and the teacher told us that ideally we should harvest the materials in winter, mainly because if the sap is up they tend to be subject to attack form insects that feed on the sugars in the sap. Also, that it's a good idea to pay attention to the phases of the moon when harvesting (although I know a lot of people are sceptical about that nowadays). In late March I made a basket from wild clematis and a couple of weeks later found that it was indeed being attacked by some sort of insects, because I repeatedly found little piles of sawdust underneath it. So I put it in a big cauldron and boiled it, hoping that would solve the problem!
    Have you had any experience of all this, and do you have any thoughts or ideas about it?

    • @HannaVanAelst
      @HannaVanAelst  4 года назад +4

      I love working with foraged materials too and would love to spend more time exploring them. I agree that it is best to harvest materials in winter when sap is down and trees are dormant. But I was only using a few branches here and there so this would not have been an issue.

    • @jacquiehill6752
      @jacquiehill6752 4 года назад

      As an herbalist, I love the notion of harvesting with the moon to either harvest with the most water content or least. In basket weaving, is the idea to harvest during a full moon so as to have material that has more water content thus making it more flexible?

    Hello from the U.S.. made one out of Wild Black Cherry whips off some of the trees i've pollarded for the last few years which yeilds me dozens of whips and sticks. Unfortunatly Cherry is not ideal for small radius turns as it will snap, so most of it gets used as outdoor cooking fuel, but for this application it was ideal.
