I don’t know what you got up to
at the weekend, but I spent a lovely morning down a
Koskela (in Sydney)
with
who is a local artist who loves teaching people
how to weave.
It turns out you can make baskets
from anything.
Who knew?!
Okay, probably everyones knows that but,
have they all had a go?
It’s surprisingly easy, not to mention
relaxing.
If it hadn’t have been
for the coffee beforehand, and my habit
of taking photos every 10 minutes,
it would have been Zen.
(damn you iPhone)
To avoid getting
ahead of myself I only made a little bowl…
a miniscule one in fact but,
as Michele said
” it’s better to start off small and finish,
than start out large” and have it sitting in your craft cupboard
for the next 12 months
or something to that effect.
I think she’s been my craft cupboard.
One miniscule bowl down…one ‘tiny’ up next.
Have fun!

It may be minuscule, but it has attitude! Love the colours!
It does, doesn’t it?!
