"I, a woman, have dropped the symbols of my sex, yarn, shuttle, basket, thread."
~Olympia Morata
I picked up most of what you dropped, Olympia.
I spent some time yesterday and today making some Easter baskets. I found a tutorial on weaving baskets out of paper and I thought, "Hmmm, I've got some marbelized paper to use up!!". So, I covered 3 pieces of paper with contact paper (for strength and waterproofing) and went to it. I think the colors meld well with the Spring feeling in the air. 70 degrees in Maine today!!

I thought I'd try it with some paper twist as well. It was lucky that my munchkin requested that I pretend to be Trusty from Lady and the Tramp....because I was growling up a storm for this basket. I just told her I'm a method actor. The paper twist was just way too easy to bend....and that made it harder to weave. But, still, I like the way it turned out:
Just don't look too closely. ;-)
This bee couldn't help himself.
