 Ribbons

Karen Kotecki 

 Start Ribbons by inserting reed spokes into an oval oak base with narrow slot - no need to twine in the spokes. The sides are woven with maple wood strips and reed. The shaping challenge will be to keep the sides straight up, especially on the narrow ends, while working with two sizes of weavers and the stiffer wood material. The spokes are glued to the rim row and the rim is lashed with coordinating waxed polyester cord. Then you get to embellish! Weave the dyed maple wood Ribbons with the aid of a mold to get a tight and rounded curl shape every time.

Special tools: super glue. I recommend insta-set glue, purple or pink label, and Insta-Cure accelerator.

Moldy Pickles

Susan Baxter 

Moldy Pickles started out as Pretty Pickles, but a friend commented that pickles aren’t pink unless there is mold growing…hence the name. Flat and round reed getting along with an acrylic bloom base, what could be better. Flat spokes are secured with twining and the 3-rod wale provides the point of attachment for secondary spokes. The dramatic inside gets even crazier when the greens and pink meet for a simple continuous weave. Those wild pink secondary spokes are then used for a border that illustrates the beauty and precision available with round reed. Except for the name, what’s not to love.

Intertwined

Karen Kotecki 

This oval reed basket is all twine all the time! You must have previous successful experience with twining, including step-ups - there are a lot of them in this basket. The weaving pattern includes single twining, reverse twining, triple twining, and randing. Start by inserting flat reed spokes into a narrow slot oak base. Triple twine to set up the base weaving and turn up the sides. Then, using 2 colors of weavers, learn to create the funky three-row turkey track pattern that tracks its way around the center of the basket. Frame an encore single row of tracks with more triple twining. Glue spokes to the rim row and lash with waxed polyester cord. Special tools: Super glue. I recommend Insta-Set glue, purple or pink label, and Insta-Cure accelerator.
