My first attempts at the ‘twining’ basketry technique where two ‘weavers’ are crossed over eachother (twisted) as they are woven through the ‘spokes’ (if I have the correct term?). I can’t help but think of them as warp and weft; the warp being the material in which you weave the weft into the build your structure. Here I am working with white paper yarn which has a lovely stiff yet pliable substance to it.
These tests are mini as I only have so much space in my studio. However saying that I do hope to construct some full sized pieces. As I do love a basket!
