Description: |
This basket is woven with the richness
of forest colors and the 1-3-5 twill
designs of the Chiefs Daughter and Man
in the Coffin. To me it represents
the tears of the mothers and the many
deaths on the Trail of Tears.
However , it was named for Cheochee, the
brother of Jocassee, from the Legend of
Jocassee because he caused many deaths
as the story is told. The base
layout will be simplified by starting in
a corner. Students will have the
opportunity to learn to weave the first
three rows simultaneously if they
choose. The handle /rim
combination is woven in one continuous
motion.
Color: space-dyed in shades
of green, brown, and tan
Materials: flat reed
Tools: Mini clips, spoke weight,
small packing tool |
