Basket case

Started in the Contemporary Crafts course - trying to replicate what looked at first like boat-shaped baskets, but turned out to be based on the shape of weaving shuttles -

It's humbling to compare my laborious, lumpy structure to the ones in the book (maker not noted, alas). I used paper string to finish off the ends, which hopefully look a bit like a stern and/or prow ... to get back to the boat idea.
