Thanks for taking the time to explain this so well. I'm interested in learning how to make little rustic baskets from garden materials. This has given me a good starting point.
Depending on where you live, Ivy is often considered an invasive species and many areas will be happy if you take some away. Best to get the long runners on the ground, not so much the climbing ones.
Thank you for this! This is the first basket of any kind I've ever done. I modified it to use braid made from lily foliage. Spokes and weavers all. I'm very pleased with the turnout. Thank you again!
Very pretty basket!
I really enjoyed your videos. You are a great teacher and you have such a great voice for recording. Thank you from another B.C. girl.
Aw shucks thanks so much for your lovely comment!

Absolutely fascinating! I’ve got to figure out where I can source some ivy…

Wow - thanks so much for the comment, it made my day to know you just made your FIRST basket! Also, I'd love to see it - any chance of a photo?
@@christiyorkartist I couldn't upload a photo so I took a short video of the basket.

@@CorvymarieP That is really very impressive you were able to pivot to a completely different material and create this basket. Well done you!
Love it!
Thanks!!
Are ivy baskets pretty sturdy?
It depends on your style of basket - open weaves are generally not as strong as a more closed, tight weave. That said, ivy is incredibly sturdy.
