Paper and Mourning Baskets
YEAR
2020, 2014, ongoing
MEDIUM
yarn, beads, scrap paper, glue stick
In 2020 Covid times, I decided to teach myself how to make paper baskets. I found it really fun to roll scrap newspaper and magazines into sticks and then weave them into baskets. Here are a few whose colors relate to tmy couch pillows.
And in 2013 when I was mourning, I made crochet baskets where I stitched messages into the basket using pony beads. I would count stitches to represent certain letters of the alphabet, and then place a bead as an identifier.
I often make yarn crochet bags and baskets - and they are the best way to transport sculpture as the bags have a natural yarn padding.
