This is an 8-10” version of a Penobscot Tote basket. Students will play with color and over layering spokes to create pattern and learn a new technique that is woven over the basic weaving to decorate this useful carryall.
Weaving with natural and hand-dyed spokes and weavers allows for solid stripes to develop up the side of the basket. The basket is woven on an oak handle with two layers of spokes twined into a base. Additional dyed weavers woven as an overlay complete the top rows. Hand cut birch bark stars complete the design. Dimensions: 10" diameter x 12" high at handle x 7" high at sides.
