Tulip
Reed Basket, 8.25" x 7" at opening
Up on the Porch Roof, Portland, ME
While the form of this basket is my own, the basket was an attempt to understand a unique pattern of double uprights (vertical members) that I found in an older Japanese basket. Separating one pair of uprights creates an odd number of uprights and allows for continuous weaving. This 'split' pair can be seen in the rim detail photo.
