Plaited Cedar Mat





Plaited Mat - woven by Joan (2012)







A closer look at the Twill pattern

This beautiful mat was woven using 1/4" strips of Western Red Cedar bark.





Mixed media basket

This small basket, woven by one of our beginner weavers, was started during the Cedar Weaving workshop and completed at the recent Weaving with Invasive Plants workshop.

Woven using a combination of materials: 

Red cedar provides the warp and forms the base of the basket. 

Yellow Flag Iris leaves give a beautifully textured and subtle coloured band. 

A couple of twined rows of yellow cedar finish the edge and lead into the driftwood handle.

Woven by Janice - November 2012
