Ultimate Basket Book, The - by Siler

SOFTCOVER - Two of the most celebrated basketmaking books - The Basket Book and Handmade Baskets - are now together in one magnificent information-packed resource. Better still, it features 10 extra projects and beautiful brand-new color photography. The acclaimed Lyn Siler has surely created the definitive guide to the craft. She thoroughly explores tools and materials; introduces all the fundamental techniques - weaving, plaiting, coiling, twining, and waling; and provides advice on adding rims, bases, and handles. With her help, it's simple to create functional everyday baskets, such as the Twill Weave Market Basket or Double Lidded Picnic Basket, as well as decorative items, including the Double Chief's Daughter Urn, with its colorful Cherokee pattern, and the Swirling Star Bowl.
