It’s Traditional Craft Tuesday and we’re happy

It’s Traditional Craft Tuesday and we’re happy to share this beautiful beaded basket by Corine Pearce. Be sure to look at the photos of the inside and base! And if you hop over to @corinep707 you can see the cradle boards she weaves for the new babies in her community.

Posted @withregram • @corinep707 Yesterday I finished this Pomo beaded basket made of sedge root, willow, glass beads, love in every stick and prayers in every stitch. I call this my ‘pleasure basket’, because I only worked on it when I didn’t have a baby waiting for a cradle, which is a rare time in my life (babies born every month).
I’m so grateful to weave love in my community ❤️
It has 3 patterns which is very common with beaded baskets. A bottom pattern, body pattern and rim pattern.
It has matte black, copper, gold, pearl ivory and matte purple beads. Now that this basket is finished I will move on to a feathered ‘pleasure basket’.
I also made some minis this week.

Today we’re visiting Sembra, a 2020 installation

Today we’re visiting Sembra, a 2020 installation by Ona Trepat Rubirola at Festival Microscopies, Parc del Secà, Anella Verda de Manresa in Catalunya

"Onda Trepat Rubirola is a plastic artist and teacher, lives and works in Pla de l’Estany. Her artistic work is characterized by being linked to handicraft procedures and weaving with vegetable fibers; looking for a certain way of understanding and meaning life. She is always in close relationship with matter, constantly connecting what is apparently disconnected, recalling an interrelated vision between culture and nature. With a self-taught vocation, she has been trained in basketry and traditional construction techniques and methods”

NBO Featured Friday Judy Gibson King

"Vintage fabric, raw silk, cotton batik, nubby linen -- I never met a piece of fabric that I didn’t like. My goal is to create baskets, often from repurposed fabric, that are functional as well as beautiful. I’m currently experimenting with using organic dyes to create solid color baskets."

Enjoy the incredible talent of Judy Gibson King, this #FeaturedMemberFriday You can see more of their work at https://nationalbasketry.org/judy-gibson-king/

Aren't they just wonderful!?

Working with baleen is a beautiful and unique basketry tradition of Alaska's First Peoples. But there are so few baleen basketmakers on Instagram that we rarely have the opportunity to repost them. Do you know of anybody making baleen baskets (publicly) on Insta? Tag them in the comments so we can follow their work!

#REPOST @exsquisite_baleen_baskets Finished this little guy!!! I think he turned out great!
