Gourd and fiber containers have been essential for making human
migration and commerce possible for thousands of years. This new
DIY book takes a step back in time to show how different forms of
fiber have been used to tie a loop around the neck or waist of a
gourd or to weave an intricate basket structure to hold the handle.
With more than 350 color images and step-by-step instructions,
seven projects are based on water containers from around the world:
a palm wine bottle from Cameroon, a canoe bottle from Borneo, a
saki flask and a spiral woven bottle from Japan, a bule from
Mexico, an intricately woven bottle from Indonesia, and a netted
Hawaiian water bottle. These projects show the universality of the
gourd in the human settlement of the earth, and make great projects
for advanced gourd artists.
