i have an interest in primitive basket making and cordage, so yeah. this one is always on my list.
i started off thinking about just weaving something basket shaped from grasses, but i did not figure a way to keep my weavers separate or how to manage splices and avoid tangles, and i ended up with a vaguely bowl-shaped matted thing.
it will bear more research, because i'm sure over the millennia people have made baskets from grass.
after than i just decided to make something in a soft sided basket with daylilly leaves.
i whipped up some two strand cordage for my spokes and used regular leaves as weavers, and off i went. it's a little basket, and i am not sure how i would go about a future one, but it's an experiment.
