Willow Weaving...Something New

It's always good to try something new. This weekend I had a go at the craft of Willow Weaving. The photo is of a bird feeder; this involved weaving five willow withies (long stems of willow) together to make half a feeder and then repeating the process, and finally joining the two halves to make the finished feeder. The willow had been soaked for a few days...this makes it pliable so you can bend it into shape. Would like to learn some more about this fascinating craft!
