"Every Day" - Basket Weave

Artist : Logan

My finished products-A basket- “Every Morning” and my painted/printed “rug”

I completed this basket for my Homeschool Friday session October 5, 12, and 19,  at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Art for a new Understanding: Native Voices, 1950 to Now

“Every Morning” -- 2018

Medium:   newspaper

I created my bowl on the 1st week of the Art for a new understanding: Native Voices, 1950 to Now, class at Crystal Bridges Museum. I made, “Every Morning”, with a bowl, tinfoil, and newspapers. I wrapped it into a spiral then wrapped layers and layers on a bowl. After that, I wrapped it in tin foil. I glued it together with mod-podge. I made this art with inspiration from the woven basket, ”So Long as These Waters Run,” by Shan Goshorn.

I think Goshorn used many tactics, because 1. She weaves pictures with clear and rounded quality 2. she weaves feathers into her baskets 3. she weaves a cherokee double weave pattern that only 14 living people have mastered.

My bowl will be used for decor in my home. I think the Homeschool Friday teachers at Crystal Bridges gave us this task so we can pass it on as Goshorn’s legacy.  So, I will pass it on .

Here's how to make the bowl at home

1 get a bowl

2 get some kind of foil

3 mod podge

4 wrap the foil around the bowl as much as it takes to wrap it around the bowl entirely

5 cut a catalog or old news papers into strips

6 fold 2 srips hot dog style then brush with mod podge and roll long ways keep rolling when you get the bottom of the bowls width   

7 wrap along the the bowl with the stripes around the bowl but not in the center

8 set for a day but first remove the bowl

9 carefully remove the the foil

10 pass it on
