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

Bark Processing of Four Northeastern Trees

This summer was my first working with trees for basketry. I set out to try several different species and learn what I could about selecting trees, removing the outer bark, stripping the inner bark, and preparing it for weaving. Overall it was a success and I ended up with a lot of material that I am looking forward to using! I am recording my observations about the process here to hopefully help…

In a break from this project, I’m working on another little piece that uses some of the same techniques. What I’m doing is somewhat in the realm of couching- sewing down a thicker thread/yarn by stitching over and around it- and somewhat in the realm of coiling- a basketry technique where you wrap a thinner thread around a thicker one and let it build up on itself to create a vessel- except mine is flat, and I’m working from the outside in rather than the inside out. 

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.

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.

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.
