The sound of beeswax

Spoon number 8 

Eucalyptus, oiled with orange oil and beeswax 

The sound of banana stems twisting

Basket making is addictive 

This one is from mulberry and quince tree prunings for the ribs

Banana stems for the weave

It's a present

I'm on a mission to only make presents this year 

Another spoon

For a present
another mulberry spoon
i haven't been making them for a while
looking forward to swinging an axe again soon

The sound of collecting eggs

The basket is done

The egg collector is happy 

The sound of wood chips

A pruned mulberry tree

some time

an axe

a knife 

and then some spoons

given as presents to friends

and family

and a stranger in the USA

The sound of corn husks

We have new chickens and a new hutch. 

Maeve can now collect the eggs herself. 

She needed a basket as eggs are fragile. 

Quince prunings and string made from corn husks. 

It was lovely to make.

I'm planning another.

Summer time in the forest. Present to make. Wind blowing in the trees. Scent of eucalyptus dye bath. Concertina books. Bush weaving fun.
