A rather messy start to the bottom of a round basket. Looks sort of like a partially finished spiderweb built by a drunk spider. It's sitting on a hardwood floor with a bunch of willow branches scattered nearby.

   Lots-of-alone-time project update: I picked a bunch of willow yesterday because we have tons of it, and I started trying to make a basket after watching a bunch of youtube videos. Turns out...it's a bit harder than I guessed at first! But maybe I'll manage to make a couple of crappy baskets. We'll see...

   I also learned that willow branches wobbling around in the air while I work (badly) with them is ABSOLUTELY irresistible to cats, who kept attacking the willows. Not helpful, guys!
