Updates to WickerWoman.com

June 18th, 2011 · No Comments · What's New

There have been so many updates made to the website that I hardly know where to begin and have not been very good about telling ya’ll about them, sorry!

I’ll start with the new blog header so you can catch up on all the great chair caning, wicker, and basket making posts that have been made this year and over the past seven years, too!

As you might already know, at the first of this year I discontinued the old blog on Blogger.com at http://wickerwoman/blogspot.com and moved it over here to my own website domain on WickerWoman.com as a WordPress blog.

Old Blog Header for Weavin' Wicker Woman

I kept the same name  “Weavin’ Wicker Woman” for my chair caning blog and basketweaving blog as before,  to avoid any confusion and keep my followers.

Also managed to transfer over all the posts, going back seven years to the very first post made on July 17, 2004!!! How’s that for cool? Find them at the bottom of the right hand sidebar under “Archives,” listed by dates.

The “Weavin’ Wicker Woman Blog” can be found at this URL http://www.WickerWoman.com/blog or you can click on the navigation bar to the left on most pages of the website, or find it at the top navigation menu on other pages.

We’ve kept the same great social network icon buttons of Google Friend Connect and NetWorkedBlogs and have both RSS Feed or Email Subscription so you can sign up and follow the blog, and not  miss a single post!

But we’ve also added ways to connect to The Wicker Woman (that’s me), through some other popular social networks like  Facebook Fan Page, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube channel! Find all the icon buttons on the right sidebar on the blog for easy reference.

Well, that’s all for today’s post on the “What’s New” site update blog on WickerWoman.com! Enjoy and Happy Weaving!

Hope to hear from you soon either in the comments here below or on the Weavin’ Wicker Woman blog itself at http://www.WickerWoman.com/blog

Head Spinning Busy

The Wicker Woman-Cathryn Peters

Without a doubt last month was just about the busiest April I’ve ever experienced and that’s one of the reasons I made few posts here on the blog. May is starting out with a bang too, but I promise to keep you all more in the loop, so to speak. My apologies to all of my loyal followers for the absence!

Antler Basket Art Presentation at Ely Library

On March 2, 2011 at 6 p.m. I will be speaking about my craft of antler basketmaking at the Ely Minnesota Public Library as the first of a three part series at libraries across the Iron Range.

In December of last year I was honored to be contacted by an Arrowhead Library System board member to see if I’d be interested in giving the presentations included as part of the Arts and Cultural Heritage Library Legacy and the Minnesota State Arts Board.

I love sharing my art with others so this lecture will be lots of fun to do. Weather is supposed to be fairly cold, but all of the folks living in Ely are well used to that!

The audience attending my presentation will get a close-up view of the baskets and short demonstration as to how the antler “speaks” to me, telling me what shape and design the basket is to be. I’ll also be bringing some baskets in various stages of completion so they can see what the weaving process encompasses.

So, if you are in the Ely, Minnesota area on Wednesday, March 2nd, please stop and say “Hello” at the Ely Public Library at 30 South First Avenue East or call (218)365-5140 for more information.

This project was funded in part or in whole with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008 which dedicated funding to preserve Minnesota’s art and cultural heritage.
