Beautiful all natural woven willow fish ornament, made using either English willow from Somerset or organically grown Scottish willow.
Handmade by basketweaver Anna Liebmann in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Lovely as a bathroom decoration, or tie a few together as a mobile in the nursery. Perfect for babies to feel the texture of weaving and explore with hands and mouths!
Ideal as a gift for a child, can be tied on to a stick with string for a 'fish on a rod' toy.

Size is between ~14-20 cm long and on average 5cm wide. Each one is unique as it is made from a different piece of willow.
If you would like a 'set' of fish which are on the small side or on the large side, or even if you would like them to be a different as possible from each other, just put a note with your order and I will choose from my shoal accordingly!

The fish are made using all natural willow grown on the Somerset Levels, near Bridgwater, England, and organically grown willow from my own willow patch in Lanarkshire, Scotland, and other willow growers local to me. Willow is a natural and renewable resource, being cut every winter once the leaves have fallen, then graded for use in basketry, fence making and....fish in this case!


I make functional baskets and teach traditional basketry in Edinburgh and beyond. I make these fish in my workshop overlooking the sea, as a small decorative taster of willow weaving past and present. The willow is soaked in water for a few days to become pliable, left to mellow overnight (just as in basketmaking!), then it is ready to use.

Also available on my Etsy shop and Folksy shop.
