click on the thumbnails to see the full sized image

These baskets are woven using the traditional technique of openwork hexagonal weave, with one or more interlaced layers. Often, the Japanese technique of "midare" is used, an irregular random plaiting. From Bamboo Baskets by Maggie Oster: "More than any other form, irregular plaiting challenges the.... artist. The apparent randomness belies the skill involved to create a midare that has balance and elegance." Baskets may be ordered in a variety of colors
