this was a work i did a year ago in Galway, in woods not to far from my home.

i had gone for a walk in the woods quite early in the morning because the weather was so good (and thats a rare treat in Galway!) as i was walking along i was suddenly inspired to make something and so i set about constructing this small woodland hut from hazel. the structure is woven and built around the base of a beautiful tree in the heart of the woods. afterwards i covered the construction in moss. the Hut took me a whole day to construct.

i have returned several times to the woods and was glad to see the wood hut still standing, the moss has taken and now grows abundantly on the hut. i intend on planting a fey creeping plants around it, in hope that in the summer the hut might be covered in flowers.

maybe i might make some more someday, like a little village in the woods...
