Weave twigs in parallel to create a twig blind with strong horizontal lines and weave the twigs far apart to create negative spaces between each twig to draw attention to the natural shape and curves of each piece of willow.
I used a bundle of dried willow twigs and two sections of binding wire. Each section of wire is double the length of what you want the blind to be. Fold each length of wire in half.
Slip a twig into the fold and twist the wire twice around the twig at both sides.
Continue to add twigs until you have the length you require.
Here are some of my designs where I used this tutorial:
This is my ongoing creative workbook to research and capture
design projects and techniques. You will mostly find ideas for
floral art but I will also include some other projects such as gift
packaging, cards and even cake decorating with a few lifestyle
projects arranged in between.
Everything you see in this workbook was designed, made and
photographed by me, unless specific credit is given to another
designer.
