COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.

Baskets and Basketry

 

“The making of baskets is not only the earliest of the hand-crafts but may well be the last to resist the machine.”
– Dorothy Wright, The Complete Book of Baskets and Basketry


This is a gathering/grocery basket made with English Holly ribs, rim, and handle. The weavers are English Ivy both with bark on and peeled for color variation.

Square Base Willow Basket with Braided Border. I wove this in a class at the Ancient Arts Center.


My Very First English Ivy Basket Ever.
