Here's some process on that basket I've been weaving. It's huge! I dyed the reeds with some dark walnut dye. It's about 6 inches taller than what I have in these pictures. Last night I finished the weaving. I just have to turn down the stakes and then lash a rim to it. I 'm still waiting on the supplies for the rim. I also have no idea how to do it. But I've gotten this far.
I can put my guitar in it!
I've learned a lot from this process. The shape of the basket is a little off from the pattern but it doesn't look too bad. It's hard to get the tension in the reeds right.
I'll be packing this around Austin soon. Probably to the grocery store. I think I'll have to carry a big stick to beat off all the hippie chicks.
