Here are the baskets I made at Retreat. Thursday's class was a random weave basket covered with paper, and embellished with photos and sparkly yarn. Above you can see the inside with the randomly woven reed.
Friday's class was the Dream Pouch, made with silk fusion. We embedded the spokes, then folded the fusion to create the pouch, and added the willow sticks and feathers and bead for embellishing.
I tried the same technique with some wool fleece that I brought, and instead of the pouch, I shaped it into more of a bowl shape. I still have some finishing to do, but it came out pretty interesting.
And on Saturday I made a Cedar Bark rattle, with beads and copper wire. It makes a sweet sound, too.
