Ply-split braiding is a technique for making textiles by parting
the plies of one cord (the "splittee") with a needle or similar
tool, drawing a second cord (the "splitter") through the gap made
in the first cord, and repeating the process many times over. With
176 images, including patterns, these techniques illustrate how to
make baskets using plain oblique twining, a version of ply-split
braiding particularly well-suited for the art of basketry. This
guide to the creative process gives you the information needed for
shaping the form of a basket, including the rate and location of
adding and removing cords. Chapters include creating fenestrations,
substituting cords, combining baskets, crossing planes, and
harnessing the tension between right triangles when the hypotenuse
of one aligns with the leg of another. See how these techniques are
rendered in a gallery of beautiful finished work.
