When a roll of black nylon'y window screening presented at a church sale a few years ago the fabric aspect captivated me and it has made its appearance as a garment or two since then.
I've been wanting a couple of bowls to hold fruit, to replace this wicker one.
Crocheting ones like these was considered; what to use as the fibre brought thoughts of black twine, or Greek braiding a length of black cloth into a tight strand and then crocheting or coiling it. These remained as ideas.
This morning the thought of the remaining black window screening came to mind and I had just meant to check to see how much was left …..
……then I got to forming it into a basket shape …. got out the T-pins to take the place of slip had I been using clay …. liked the first one …. made another.
I like the airy shape, the casual containment, the look of them on the plant stand that came indoors from the deck last autumn and assumed kitchen status and purpose.
