My first coiled basket! Made a few months ago. It's a little wonky but I think it's cute. Made from acrylic yarn and cotton rope.

I apparently put up a photo of this an age ago, but I didn't put up all the shots of it at the time, so I figure I might as well now. I always liked the photos with the apples. It really gives a better idea of the scale of this basket. Made this for a friend a long time ago now, but I figure it would be nice to actually archive my work somewhere.
Baskets, baskets, baskets. I used to make these all the damn time back in the 2010s, but it's been a while. But seeing as I've been working on new ones lately and also seeing as I've peaced out of most of the other platforms due to AI, here we are back to square one. lol I can't say I'm some expert on the history of baskets, but I did dig up some references of different techniques and origins of said techniques. Some were made using this technique but more with grasses and reeds and a bunch of other materials.

I did end up finding a few tutorials on YouTube that use the same technique if that's a thing you'd want to check out.
Worked on this Thursday, Friday, and finally finished it last night for my sweet, winter child. ♥ Basket coiling is very time consuming. @@ Maybe I’ll finally get back into metalwork now that I’m done hauling ass on this and cosplay though. HAPPY ZOMBIE JESUS DAY, KIDS. Least to those who celebrate it.
Back during colleging, I was introduced to coil basketry. But I didn't really revisit it more thoroughly until the beginning of this year. Now, I enjoy piecing together different colors and-- depending on how much I'm feeling like a masochist --patterns all in order to pull together basket after basket.
My baskets generally range from being 6"-1' in diameter at the bottom, gradually expanding with each coil to encompass a size that can sometimes be startlingly twice as big depending on the build. Generally, they hit 3-6" in height.
