Paper Weaving

I spent an enjoyable day with Annetta Kraayeveld as she led a class in diagonal twill basics at the CPBWG Weaving Odyssey 2022.  I wove two baskets simultaneously, reinforcing skills used in basket 1 as basket 2 was woven. 

Using prepared painted watercolor strips of paper, I wove a square base.  The corners of the vessels are created between the center stakes of each side. The stakes become the weavers after the corners are created. After weaving and packing all the rows the rim was tucked in.  An outside and inside rim of paper covered the top 2 rows of weaving.  The rim was lashed with waxed linen.
