Bring your sharp pruning scissors !

And some vegetarian food to share

( I have allergic reaction to Garlic and nutmeg,

do not eat wheat, sugar and pasteurized and cooked dairy products

and do not sit well with beans, lentils, and coriander )

I believe in energy exchange.

I  had the opportunity to get a lot of willow.
For who does not have willow please come on the day at 9 pm , to prepare the willow for your basket.
If you have your own willow look at my blog how to prepare it in the right way.

If you do not have it let me know...

 

 


We had some lovely workshops over the years

Please prepare it like in the picture above !

the golden yellow willow is the best

The other ,green and red can also be used as differend effects.

Willow has to be cut in winter

The tree had to be pruned  last year !

And you cut one year growth for the weaving,

With fresh willow it is easier to work. 

it must be possible to bent it without breaking.
