Basket-Making

"The purpose of this volume is to give practical assistance to those who may be interested in basket-making. The problems discussed in this book have been carefully planned and execut ed, applying fundamental principles of color, form, and design. Many of the difficulties in basket-making, which we have experienced, cannot be foreseen by reading concerning them. We have endeavored to give the reader some suggestions concerning the designing of baskets, cost of materials, use of materials and finished articles, also the time and labor involved in the work. We can present only a few finished pieces of the many problems possible in basketry, but we hope they may be sufficient to suggest many ideas which can be executed, and that it may encourage anyone interested in basket-making to attempt the problems suggested."--p.
