Nut basket

Nut basket Another animation
This nut basket I made on January,4 2004. I never thought there where so many different techniques!!
First you have to make two hoops,Gods eye which you tie up with the bark of willow, into a God's eye (see picture).  Producing the tying  material was a bit messy but since I made the basket at Eynderhood it did not matter.  Once the two hoops are fixed together you add other stakes and complete the weaving.
I made an single handle made of one rod. Because I broke my first rod, this is a 'double single handle of one rod'.
