Wild Willow on an April afternoon

Hello folks, it's been a while since I've last updated the blog but please do bear with me. Here are some beautiful pictures from a selection of Wild Willow craft events I held back in April. We used red dog wood and several different coloured willows to craft hurdles, angels and pheasants. Also a photo of my latest deer. Please enjoy!
