Basketry Techniques

Peter Michael Bauer, “The Invasive Weaver,” on the Greener Good talking about weaving with invasive species. 

My classic twined English Ivy berry basket.

Because, why not? I made a mini fabric liner for my mini basket. #basket #basketry #basketweaving #shaker #Shakerbasket #sewing #crafting #ashbasket #blackash #brownash #singer #sewingmachine #featherweight #singerfeatherweight by jaskets http://ift.tt/1KXm5c2

Again, it’s like a fiber sketch, done more to demonstrate possibilities and play with fibers than to create a piece in its own right. I’m experimenting with how the couching/coiling technique works, using contrasting threads (dark purple and bright red-orange) instead of monochrome colors (white-on-white, as in the bigger project) to make the resulting texture more visible. In this picture, you can see a bit of how it works. I lay down the thick purple yarn first, then stitch over it in a blanket stitch with the red-orange thread (actually laceweight rayon yarn) to hold it in place and bind it to the other threads. This eventually builds up into a solid, flat textile. In the end all those gaps will be filled in, as with my larger project.

Prairie Natural Wood Picnic Basket ❤ liked on Polyvore (see more colored woven baskets)

The random weave basket I made using mint, oregano and vines from the garden has just been sitting about outside so I decided to stick it in the mulberry tree like a nest.

Basket Weaving

In a nest weaving a basket, a detail of my weaving in progress and the beautiful forest floor where the ivy was sourced from! Me mid-workshop in heaven. If you can make your work something you love, I recommend you do:) #happyplace by shelleykrycer https://instagram.com/p/3-3dxHmQAD/

Edward Willie gathers and dries plants from a local forest to weave into his basket designs. From the photo essay, “The Beauty of Craft,” by Unnikrishnan Raveendranathen.
