Basket from the Noteć River
I was tempted to make myself a small basket. Since the woven reeds are very durable, I decided to go to the water to look for material.
It’s not exactly here that I collected the long green leaves, but I want to convey the mood of the place 😉 Although you can’t see the entire beautiful Noteć floodplain.
In the fall I brought myself leaves and dried them. It's not water cattail, nor is it calamus... I have a suspicion, but I won't insist on it.
As usual, first to interest:
The leaves had to be soaked to make them more flexible. And off we go.
The beginning is in the hands of…
Then flat…
Then a bowl…
But the shape didn't suit me, so I took a large pot.
I attached it to an inkle loom. So this loom is not only useful for weaving selvedges.
I cut the ends off and used a needle to secure the edges.
And then I went with a basket to the Noteć, because it looks best there 😉
Gorgeous! I didn't know you play basketball too 🙂
Super:))
Jojku, how cute:)
Aśka – it's divine (just right for a newborn session) <3

Brilliant!
I didn't know either 😉
Thank you for your kind words. I didn't expect so many comments and such a quick positive response 🙂
The basket is great, but damn, maybe you don't like compliments, maybe you're not showing them that :))) But please, let it be there 😀
Best regards
I laughed out loud – praise and a subtle, playful sarcasm in one – impressive 🙂
Praises are, next to the beauty of nature, the silence of the forest, kindness, wisdom and the works of other people, what motivates me to work. And in life, action is probably the most important thing 🙂
Asia! do you still make selvedges? I'd be happy to make an exchange 🙂
Be sure to check out my blog, maybe you'll like something?
Hi. I'm still mainly interested in selvedges. I'll check out your blog after the season to take a closer look at the animals 🙂 Best regards
Hello, you made a beautiful basket 😉 Could you share what leaves you used for it? I'm a total newbie on the subject :/
Thank you. Now I can write what plant I used, because I am sure of the name. The basket is simply made of yellow irises.
I really like these kinds of robots
