To document your completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pics:
 -  your raw materials
 -  your woven basket in-progress
 -  your completed woven basket showing it meets the minimum size
Last fall while weeding an area, I used a scrap of leather to de-prickle  lengths of trailing blackberry and roll them into loose coils.
To make my basket, I soaked the coils in a bucket of water. Then I made a simple spiral basket. I could use more practice...
However, the finished basket is sitting on a 6" ruler and there's one inside to give scale and showing it's a bit over the minimum size.

It was nice and flexible after soaking.

Now I understand the benefit of using a frame to get the first bits done.

I could definitely use more practice!

I created a woven, German style, basket from locally harvest willow branches. First time!! I was told you either bury your first basket or gift it away. I choose away with goodies inside.
Below are the required photos of raw materials, the in-progress basket, and then the finished basket.
Using my hand for reference, the basket is well over the minimum requirements of 4" across and 3" deep.

I wove this basket out of willow. It meets the size requirements (4” wide and 3” deep), as demonstrated by the water bottle.
