Nepali baskets

I'll keep this short and sweet.
Last year I stayed in Nepal for 5 months, most of which was spent in a remote village. I was taught how to weave baskets using recycled plastic wrappers. I've continued weaving in England, using the same methods. I'm developing my skills further through experimentation. This is only the beginning...

Time alone was a rare treat, basket weaving was never really possible unless I had the whole family poking at my basket or me.  : )
