Procedure - Step #1 Set Up Spokes |
Cut your spokes to length. If you intend to use a complex border be sure to allow extra
length in your spokes. Soak all your spokes and several weavers until flexible.In groups of two spokes each, make a cross with
four of the spokes with the mid point of the spoke at the center.
Pinch using your needle nosed pliers
near the center of the first weaver. This will allow the reed to bend without breaking.
Wrap the fold around two of the spokes to prepare to twine the basket body. |
|
Procedure - Start The Twining |
Begin twining
using both of the ends of your round reed weaver. Twine over two spokes at a time.
Be certain to cross your weavers the
same way each time.
Pack each row tightly using your awl. |
|
Procedure - Start the Point |
Begin almost immediately to shape the point
of the cornucopia by pulling the twining tightly and shaping the spokes into a point.Twine tightly so that a crisp point is formed for
the end of your horn of plenty.
Keep the spokes in groups of two woven
as one until you complete about twelve rows.
Each time you come to the end of a
weaver, splice in a new one to continue weaving. |
