Hidden Treasures

I have been weaving a lot of baskets while staying inside this month.  I have found some kits I had tucked away and forgotten about.  This double-walled basket is one I made from a kit by Anne Bowers.  It features a inner core of smoked reed and sea grass woven around the outside layer of the vessel.

The square base was woven in a 2 -2 twill of alternating plain reed and smoked reed.

Using only the smoked reed spokes the inner vessel were woven using smoked reed.  A 1/4" plain filler row topped the shape before the spokes were tucked to the outside.They were later hidden in between the two layers of weaving.




The remaining plain spokes were upturned and woven with sea grass in a chase weave. 
 A 1/4" plain filler row topped the shape before the spokes were tucked to the inside, between the two layers of weaving.

Lastly a half oval reed rim was attached with cane, sea grass and a piece of round reed.
