Willow frame basket

I returned to Lakeshore Willows for two days of crafting my first frame basket and enjoying the company of fellow Willow basket enthusiasts. Lene Rasmussen is a knowledgeable and creative instructor and basket artist. You can follow Lene’s blog too.

Look at the nice colour variety we were able to use in the baskets. Lakeshore Willows has a good variety of dried Willow available, so I bought enough to keep my passion going for awhile. I have to be patient while my first harvest is a year away and will then need drying time. In the meantime I eagerly await the opportunity to help Lene with her harvest.

I look forward to keeping in touch with the lovely ladies from the workshop and reading and seeing photos of their work and progress!
