Under the careful instruction of Leilah, who runs Dragon Willow, we were guided step by step through this woven pattern to create, what would hopefully resemble, a deer.
At this stage of the making, it is a great representation of what an actual deer may look like if the head exploded off. When there is an entire room filled with exploded-headed deer, it is quite the fantastic sight to see!
Surprisingly, willow weaving deer is not as hard as it appears. It is incredibly straight forward, even for a novice like me! A simple willow frame consisting of various sized hoops is all it takes.
The end result is incredibly satisfying. A days work and everyone in the room had created a fantastic deer, ready to dress up with lights and bells for the Christmas period.
