The Basket Maker

I spent a pleasant couple of hours at Knockbridge Vintage Festival this afternoon.
There was lots to see and photograph, from displays of horses ploughing to steam engines, traditional crafts to vintage cars.
This basket maker was weaving baskets from rushes gathered from beside the River Boyne.

Although I realise that you didn't have full control of it, I like the overall composition here. We have the raw materials, we have the focus on creating the product and a partially completed example, and we have completed examples stacked up on the left. To top it all off we have the woven wall as a backdrop. The bicycle adds a similar low tech touch to it.
