I started laying out for one of the basket heads, that of a goose. When I created a prototype figure for this project a few months ago, I realised that weaving willow and drawing it are very things! All the over-under stuff does your head and eyes in a bit. I ended up spacing out the verticals in Pencil, and getting them wrong a lot despite the earlier practice…
Carving I made a lot of mistakes, I think I hit a soft patch of the top birchwood layer and it flaked away in areas. I tried repairs with PVA but only a few will be unnoticeable. Flew threw it though, halfway through the goose neck…
