Daniel - Thanks for the windigo explanation. Tony - Congratulations on the new car. Hope you enjoy it for a long time. What kind of baskets of you teach? Woven Circle is looking for teachers who live reasonably close for our fall weave-in in November. IF you want to submit a proposal, email me privately & I'll get you the contact info. Karen - Have fun in Alaska! I'll be watching for your report! Susi - Sorry I can't be there to see the big show & take a workshop. Is there an exhibit catalog available? If so, how does one obtain a copy? Pam W. - I don't care how a photo is produced, as long as it shows the basket clearly. I don't scan photos, but I do use digital photos to illustrate my patterns. When having copies run, I get color photocopies of the first page. The color photocopies don't run when spattered with water the way a computer printout would. If cost were an issue, I'd put six or eight copies of the color photo in a master sheet to reduce the number of color copies. That would require more time, though to cut and paste each one onto the pattern. The computer printouts of the other photos in the pattern reproduce just fine in black and white. It has taken me a while to get the hang of getting good reproducible digital photos, though. I still sometimes receive patterns without illustrations from some teachers, so not everyone is producing patterns that meet "convention-teaching" standards, as I understand them. If a weaver isn't sure about the water resistance of a picture, keeping it in a plastic page protector is definitely the way to go. Cathryn - When I update a pattern slightly, I use the update format you mentioned (Copyright date & revision date). When the update has substantial changes and additional information, I give it a new edition number and a new copyright date. DeeM - I hope to get to the west coast eventually for a basketry trek, teaching AND studying. Just don't know when it might happen. Not likely this year. Your suggestion to spray computer prints with fixative is a good one. As for trading natural materials, email me privately and we'll talk! Clare Kiblerb - Your report on the Mark Kolinski oak basket class at the John C. Campbell Folk School was great. Thanks for posting it. Weave well, everyone! Bert in Independence, MO, where the temperature is going up and down like a yoyo. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Subject: Handle Sale Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 10:21 PM From: Linhebert@aol.com To: davidc@iei.net Greetings, Fellow Basketweavers!

Barbara Holt, Chairperson, TN Basketry Convention %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Subject: Basket Exchange Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 5:50 AM From: Linhebert@aol.com To: davidc@iei.net I just wanted to let everyone know about the wonderful basket I received in the exchange. I received not 1 but 2 baskets. They are melon baskets woven with grapevine handles and woven with a very soft and fuzzy yarn. They are just beautiful. I received them from Denise Pittman from Rockingham, NC. She learned how to make them from a class that she took from Suzanne Miller. Well Suzanne if you get this Newsletter you're a good teacher and Denise is an excellent student. Thanks again Denise for making my day. Diane Begeman from Spring Like SE Michigan %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: Tony Stubblefield To: David Collins/Weavers Words Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 10:23 PM Subject: Dye Report Mary - about Basket Tree dye - I think I may have figured out my problem. I have been cutting my reed before I dyed it as it seemed easier to handle than long coils flopping all about. I am using 3/16" flat oval cut into 3" lengths for a series of small twilled Nantucket classes http://www.jaskets.com/class.html I have been teaching. Well, I decided to try dying the splint straight from the bundle in 1/4 lb coils. I used only half a bag of dye this time and was easily able to dye 1/2 lb of reed. I think what was happening is that the short sections of reed were acting like dozens of tiny straws and literally drank up the dye bath. This is the only explanation I can come up with as I was using the same brand (Basket Tree) and same colors as before. I too have very hard water and wouldn't be surprised if that didn't play a role in how well the dye works too. Cathryn - about noting revisions to a pattern - You probably should at least update the copyright notation as you mentioned. I usually use the format of (c) J. Anthony Stubblefield, 1998-2002 for something that was first created in 1998 and then revised last in 2002 (it may have been revised in between with only the last year notation changing, i.e. 1998-1999 to 1998-2002). This way you know what the material was first created and what version you are currently looking at is. As far as placing some kind of note on the cover of a pattern you could always say "Revised", "Updated" or "Updated 2002!" maybe something like that if you want to make it known that the pattern is "new and improved". DeeM - about Maxine Kermeyer - Wow, it so good to hear she is doing well and what has become of her. I took a couple of workshops from here back when I was in college. She too changed my outlook on basketry. Before that time I had been mainly making Appalachian style baskets pattern after the ones in my parent's collection. While I haven't made any baskets quite that free-form and experimental as I did back then I know that she still influences me today on texture, color and shape. My aunt and uncle have one of those early twined baskets and I look at it every Thanksgiving. I am still pleased with it, unlike some other early baskets I would like to forget about :-). Maxine was one of the first sources for "natural" materials and she used to have great dyed materials too. Clare - about John C. Campbell - Thanks for the report. I have wanted to go there, but just never have had the chance. I have always heard good things about it, but mainly from teachers. I just wish that their website and catalog provided a photo of each project. It is kind of hard to tell what you are going to be doing just from the description. Well, I am off to cut staves again. I think I kind of got carried away with my dying this time and I am going to have enough material to last me for a couple of years (I don't use as much dyed splint as some). Nobody better complain that there isn't enough or a good selection when I have my classes! Take Care And Happy Weaving, Tony Stubblefield St. Louis, MO http://www.JASkets.com %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Subject: Whatever Basket Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 1:00 PM From: Sue Ann Boitnott To: Eve, I believe this pattern may be Jean Cadmus-May's pattern. She is a great weaver, teacher who used to live in Indiana and now lives in Texas. I think that I remember seeing it in the Association of Michigan Basketweavers newsletter at least 10 years ago. It is such a fun basket to make.

Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2002 6:21 PM From: Jill Choate To: Undisclosed-Recipient; The Alaska Bush Basketry Retreat - Iditarod is but a memory for those participants that headed north to adventure. Our guests are now on their way home to share their stories to family and friends of their exploits in the Alaskan Bush. The group usually congeals by the end of the week and comes up with a slogan that makes a statement about the essence of the week for them. Last year's group came up with the "Wild Women of the Alaska Bush Basketry Retreat and the Boys". This year, we included lots more adventure in our program and this year's group came up with "Jill's Alaska Bush Basketry Boot Camp". Sounds like we came up with the right combination of basketry and adventure by dog team! Talk about weaving with a view! We experienced seven days of "severe clear" as the Alaska range towered against the skyline during the entire trip. Flying the mountain, weaving with Alaskan basket makers and seeing the start of the Iditarod we're but a few of the events of the week. If your going to run dogs you need that on hands experience of being a dog handler. Grab a husky, throw a harness on, hold those leaders, then jump in the basket and enjoy the ride. And what a ride! The weather couldn't be better. Cold in the morning and warming up to the 30's in the afternoon. A hard, packed, fast, trail and a team of eight to take you out to view Mt. McKinley and stop at Pirate Lake for a picnic at five below. All this fun resulted in good stories and a tired glow at days end. Well if you thought that was fun...you sure won't want to miss ABBR-Fish on! in August. Fishing, a trip on the Alaska Railroad, basket making and more await you this summer. For more information access: www.jchoatebasketry.com/retreat.htm We're headed to the Lower-48 in April! We head south for a workshop in Pagosa Springs, CO and to Seattle, WA in May. We're off to Missouri in June where our horses and mules await our arrival. From then on we'll be looking to hook up with you on our summer tour of the Lower-48. For more information access: www.jchoatebasketry.com/classes.html Until we meet on the trail... Jill Choate Talkeetna, Alaska %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Subject: Weavers Word Sent: Sunday, March 10, 2002 10:18 AM From: Joe Conroy To: David Collins Tony, You asked the question about using Basket Tree dye and not being able to dye two pounds of reed as advertised on the package. I use Basket Tree as well as Comcroft, Rit and Jadvick brands. In general, I have not been able to successfully dye 2 pounds from any of them. Perhaps, it is because I like more vivid colors. I am lucky if I can dye 1 pound. I have been using Synthrapol, which is advertised as helping the reed to absorb the dye more evenly. I do see a difference in my reed when I use it , plus, I can continue to use the same batch of dye longer without it molding. I just keep adding more dye to the dye bath each time I use it. I have used Jacquard dye and the color is intense; however, I find that the colors do not meet my expectations. For example, when I used the red dye the reed came out bubble gum pink. Perhaps I need to play around with it more. I use well water; could be the minerals in the water. If anyone has suggestions as what proportions to use with the Jacquard dyes I would appreciate having that information. I recently received my swap basket from Martha Robison of Colorado. It is a twill basket and the pattern is called Four Seasons designed by Laura Zanger. It is a very attractive basket. Good job and many thanks Martha!!

It could be that when she first started out I kept popping her off the back of the sled. Or, that when she attempted a take off with her team her knot wouldn't come loose leaving her behind the rest of us and in a panic. With all these wonderful first experiences Jennah decided that the "iron dog" (aka snowmobile) was the only true mode of winter transportation. Sometimes you just have to leave it alone and hope that it will turn around. Yesterday we took off with two teams of eight dogs headed towards the Susitna River from Willow with Jennah backing us up on the snowmobile. The river trail is a six-lane highway of white that provides access to the "real" Alaska during the winter. It's a pretty neat feeling to be following in the wake of the Iditarod mushers that were enroute to the checkpoints of Skwentna and beyond. Makes you feel like any destination is do-able by dog team. That's the problem with running dogs. The more you do, the more you want to reach for. I'm thinking that a cabin with no running water, indoor plumbing or electricity in the Alaska bush is a dream come true. Hitch the dogs up and head out for everywhere! It's bush magic working on you. It must have worked on Jennah too because guess who came back home running her own eight dog hitch. My, my, ain't Mama proud of her girl! Let that magic work on you! Come on up for Alaska in August. The Alaska Railroad, the fish and the fun are waiting for you in the heat of the summer. For more information access: www.jchoatebasketry.com/retreat.htm. If you really want to experience magic the best time is for Iditarod. This year we will be adding the Musher's Banquet in Anchorage to our week of activities. Meet the Iditarod Musher's first hand, get an autograph and watch them pull their starting order. It's just the beginning of all the excitement! Need to hear some stories before you come up? Well, catch me on the summer trail. Access www.jchoatebasketry.com/classes.html to see where I'll show up next. Until we meet on the trail.

Maybe once my husband is not working so much I will get him to check it out, but until then my computer has me on restriction, ONLY one e-mail per log on. My husband thinks I have completely lost it. It all started with going to the AMB conference and coming back with an addiction to waxed linen. I recently finished one of Ann Snider's mini-rainstick kits. I had way too much fun. My husband would only say that my current project was "Nice". Well, I had to let him slide on that one and give him the benefit of the doubt, he just did not understand how much fun I was having. Once I finished and put the little beads in he became interested in it. Now he calls it "Wonderful" and asks if I can make another. I am glad that he likes it but doesn't he know that there are more things out there I NEED to wrap with waxed linen?!! I did place an order for some more patterns and I have started collecting spools of waxed linen. Now I am turning into those ladies who were mobbing the Royalwood booth for their waxed linen. I need more...more...more!!!! And just last night my friend Darlene brought over a book she ordered for me, a book on beading!!! I was up until midnight reading and thinking that the beads they were talking about are from Japan.... Hey that is where I am living now!! I did happen to see some beads at a sewing shop recently and at a very good price. I guess I will have to go back and check it out again. With that all aside, maybe I will find time to work in some quilting too. I do have two I need to finish some day. Dianne Where the weather in Okinawa is warm and sunny!
