I was trying to find somewhere in yesterdays sultry afternoon light to show off this enormous log basket destined for Llanlowell.. Fortunately this little niche in my friend @louisaelizabethmorgan lovely garden did the trick- I am particularly loving the colour of the lichen on the wall but needless to say a basket that is almost 1m tall steals the show anyway… I have a few more baskets to make including circular log baskets and willow backpacks so please pm me if you are after anything special… I will be at @llanvihangelcourtchristmasfair and @penpont_wales splitting my stock for the two fairs next weekend so please call in if you are passing…. #winterlogbasket #logbasket #willowbasket #willowbaskets #winter #fair #christmasfair #festivefair #firebasket #woodbasket #woodbaskets #locallymade #locallymadegoods #madeinmonmouthshire #wyldwoodwillow ...
