To celebrate and say thank you to my first 300 YouTube subscribers, here's a free tutorial.

In this video I demonstrate how to make a bare willow wreath. Perfect for seasonal celebrations, and ideal for adding foraged foliage. I also talk about how ...

Removing willow from the soaking tank and weaving dragonflies.
Once willow is harvested, it needs to be fully dried to allow all of the shrinkage to occur. This can take several months. Once dried, it can be soaked in water to make it malleable again. Soaking times can vary greatly depending on the size and variety of willow, as well as water temperature.
Once soaked, willow requires a "mellowing" period to allow all of the moisture to fully pe*****te the wood. This involves wrapping the willow in a blanket for around 24hrs before weaving.

The Most Beautiful B-roll shot, 24hrs too late 🤣
I tried for hours to get this shot yesterday, wanting to incorporate it in the wreath making video; but the birds obviously didn't like the tripod being set up so close to the feeding station. I left it overnight, so that they could get used to it, and managed to capture this moment today.
I may not be rich, but this is the life I've chosen 🙏
