Here are a couple of ribbed baskets and other ribbed projects I’ve done. The basic technique is all the same—twining reed, grass or palm inflorescence/palm seed stems over a ribbed structure. How to make it different? Change the ribbed structure or try different materials. I took a great class from Mary Hettmansperger in sculptural twining. Each student's work was very different . My first project (below) hangs in our living room. Take a look at Mary Hett's on-line gallery www.maryhetts.com
The other project (below) has been on various shelves or the coffee table--it is large enough (10 inches by 25 inches) that we have had a hard time finding it a permanent "home" in our home..
