If anyone else in the fediverse is into #BasketWeaving, #cordage, #BowDrills, and similar #Neolithic technology, come say hi?

Here's my most time-consuming coil #basket. Made from yucca fibre, with one continuous piece of two-ply twist string. It's extremely tough and hardy.

Added the handle later (yucca string and a small piece of bone), with some help from my #BasketWeaving assistant.

A charming brown coil basket. A pocket knife sits in it for scale.

The same basket, seen from above, with a braided handle attached

A beautiful ginger and white cat, who has caught the braided basket handle before I attached it to the basket. Her name is Queen Felicia. She helps with all my projects which involve string, and I love her.
