Basket weaving with cable ties...

Artist Niall de Buitléar writes in with some of his latest works...

Various sculptures by Irish artist Niall de Buitlear using a range of found materials including cable ties (collected from poles and lampposts after election posters had been removed), plastic cables from bales of concrete blocks and burnt matchsticks. I use various labour intensive techniques including basket weaving.

Was wondering what to do with all those cable-ties on my bench.
