 |                  | This is the first basket I made after graduating from UCLA. I was using a wire warp so that the "fabric" could be manipulated off the loom. After a few of these I decided that I could achieve the same effect by just stitching the wire directly to another material thus skipping the weaving process. This started my exploration into stitching.
