Hey, for all you basketmakers out there, here’s an excellent Basket Weave Cork Bulletin Board Tutorial from a favorite blog I’m following. I just discovered this basket weave bulletin board tutorial a few days ago on A Hand-Woven Life and can’t wait to make my own!
Care to Follow this great blog, too? Then just click on the Google Friends Connect box on the right sidebar of Juliana’s blog at A Hand-Woven Life.
Here’s our little Lily at 13 months, out gathering “willow” with Grandma! She’s already helped with the basketweaving when younger and now she’s “gathering,” too. We start ‘em out young up here in Northern Minnesota, don’t we?
Congratulations to Peter and Susan Tanzini of Dovetail Antiques, New Jersey, who are listed on the Furniture Repair Directory. They just had an article entitled, “Antique Wicker Restoration,” published in Northeast Antiques.
Reporter Jean McClelland writes about antiques for The Herald-Dispatch in West Virginia and wrote this article, “As relaxing reminder, wicker speaks of summertimes past,” which appeared in the paper on May 31, 2009.
Thanks to Loxie Nance from West Virginia, who called to tell me that WickerWoman.com was mentioned in the local Sunday newspaper, in the article about wicker furniture which steered readers to my website for how-to care for wicker.
Thanks for the mention in your article on wicker Jean, that was very nice of you!
Both the Star of David chair caning pattern on the left and the Spiderweb chair caning pattern on the right, will be in the line-up of hole-to-hole chair caning techniques demonstrated at the upcoming July 31 – August 2, 2009 2nd Annual Gathering of The SeatWeavers’ Guild in Nelsonville, Ohio.
If you are interested in chair caning and want to learn more about the more difficult weaves, then join our guild and attend the 2nd Annual Gathering with the theme, “Adventures in Advanced Caning Patterns” next month! There will be demonstrators in the shelter and under canopies outside at Robbins Crossing on the grounds of Hocking College.
For more information about the guild and the Gathering, visit our chair caning guild website at: http://www.SeatWeaversGuild.org
I was working on my domain website, WickerWoman.com, a few days ago and realized that for some odd reason, one of the most important navigation buttons was missing from the left sidebar! Hard to tell how long it’s been out of order, but it’s now been restored.
That navigation button was for “Useful Links” where I have separate pages devoted to the likes of: Antiques & Collectibles, Basket Workshops, Woodworkers, Rustic Furniture and BASKETMAKERS
Please peruse this page of my website to see some websites of fantastic basketmakers of all kinds; traditional, contemporary, Native American, pine needle, willow and more that I recommend. Happy Weaving!
