Im looking forward to doing a basket from cattails. I did a few baskets last year 1 out of willow branches and one from pine tree needles.

Молодец бабуля, красивые вещи плетет.

[@AnikaJerin]

Wonderful... Great skill...

[@bruxulaandrews5369]

I tried to make a basket weaving with news paper once. It's so very difficult! Lady congratulions by your experience and work!

[@negarodrigues9894]

Que habilidade e perfeição

[@kellyroup6665]

I wish that she had shown the entire process. Im guessing that the twist across the bottom is what held the initial fronds together to start the weave. Still pretty impressive.

[@AnimeShinigami13]

okay so the fact that I don't get to all my cattails woven when they're green is not a problem. Maybe I should start trying to find a piece of junk that can act as a basket form.

[@Rumade]

I have been wondering about a form too. An old saucepan, especially without a handle, may work

[@NyxiiPyxii]

BEST video on basket weaving I've found. I just really wished jt showed how she did the bottom

[@carries7140]

Mesmerizing

[@leoniziabenevides6282]

trabalho maravilhoso parabens

[@brittanywinn3955]

I would love to learn how to do this! I have an abundance of cattails where I live!

[@cecilyerker]

I wish I knew an old Romanian lady who could teach me basket weaving

[@zestygurl]

Yep, she's on RUclips. Immortal. Your wish was granted!🖤✔

[@user-hq9wh9hq7n]

Me too. Maybe just visit Romania one day?

[@MadalinaPVilcu]

Come to Romania and you will learn and you will have a good vacation as well.

[@ayushjha9921]

Can I get information about some basketry designers?

[@leo92328]

Thank you. Can I weave corn husks with this technique?

[@marymaria3587]

I m Romanian, I really like that they posted this video about this hand weaving artisan, she is really impressive, not many are left that keep the traditional thing going.
I came across another nice video, a young lady from UK living in the Lakes District near Scotland, she makes baskets from everything, it s really great and interesting. She is using various plants, such as dandelions tubes, corn husk, catttails, willow and tree peel, Irises, Narcissus and many others. Her shop is called FORAGED FIBERS.
