Introduction Visit the new Weavin' Wicker Woman™ blog at www.WickerWoman.com/blog

Migrated all the great posts from the last six years from Blogger to the new blog on WickerWoman.com, so you won't miss a single post! Come see! I’m a full-time fiber artist specializing in antler basketmaking, chair caning, and wicker furniture restoration.

I started this blog in July of 2004, dedicated to sharing, promoting and perpetuating the crafts of chair caning, wicker repair and basketry of all types, so they don't become "lost arts." Then in January of 2011, moved the blog to my own website, WickerWoman.com

Here we provide news, history, current events, highlights and information about these basketmaking, seatweaving and closely related crafts.

Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog serves the crafts, antique and collectibles community by providing a central area where weavers can find information about current topics within the field, new resource websites, and press releases about other crafters and antique collectors.
