Basketry

Back to Miniatures - General Gallery
At one time I wanted to make woven based wicker-style baskets for my dolls' house and although I searched the web endlessly, I couldn't find anything on getting started.  
So, after some experimentation, these are what I developed.  I use natural raffia which is twisted as one works so that it has a fairly even weave to it.

This was offered as a Tutorial on the South African Minis group in 2008

This was designed to accommodate a Tudor Baby and I added a slight hood to the later version.

Tutorial to come in January
