WEAVING FOR TREES
Throw the instruction book out..
An old plum tree
Weaving a tree nest
A platform to pick fruit from.
Weaving this basket has shown me culture is a weave
When it is done well
Sturdy branches to start
Trim side branches
Trim small branches
Weave
No joint is stressed to breaking point
The whole basket holds each joint
Weaving layers
Each branch supports and spreads tension
Many interwoven braces
The stressors spread
Spreads the tension
It is ergonomic
Smaller branches
Rushes from the water chestnut
Forming to the minimal average surface energy
A friendly Supporting Space
Comfortable space
playful space
learning in a basket
Exploring friendship and skills
Ellie's space as well
We dont live in a box
learning skill is for all
Throw the instruction book out..
