First RM Woven Basket!
So...we have a lot of fun at our Fiber Group on Wednesday nights, ya know! Well, we asked our lovely member Brenda to teach us basket weaving! We had three interested members all weaving baskets for the first time last night. I haven't received the photos from Brenda yet, but here's MY basket! It's a Cherokee Double-Walled basket! That's right...two layers thick! It's super sturdy that way and I must say...I'm a little bit proud of it, being my first! Brenda thinks I'm a 'natural'.
What can I say...if a 5 year old in some sweat shop can do it...so can I! (Sorry...just putting my ego in check!)

NOW! the question remains.... can you do it underwater???
Thanks! Everyone keeps asking if I can do it underwater! Too funny! The thing is...it would be faster and easier to do it underwater, since you have to keep dunking it as the reed dries out anyway. I suppose that you'd have to do it in a lake or river...the chemicals in pool water is probably bad for the materials I would imagine. I doubt the public pool employees would let me bring my reeds into their pool anyway! Hee-hee!

Thanks, everyone! You are some extra-talented people, so I really take the comments to heart!
