Baskets are ORBS too

My lastest ORBS adventure involves orbs of a different sort. By weaving the strips instead of rolling them a container is born.
This isn't the first time I've been obsessed with containers. Or weaving. Potholders anyone? Some basket forms are made in essentially the same way.
I didn't want to use duct tape in making these and tried at first to use only strips of the aseptic containers. But I didn't love how it worked so ended up using sterling silver wire at the top on this one, and hanging a few metal washers from the closures. (Nothing like diving into my found object collection!) More embellishments to come.
On another note, since I have been spending so much less time in the concrete jungle (aka New York City), I thought I might start showing ORBS at more local venues. I miss their celebrity appearances. There are plenty of museums, galleries and other places of note in the Hudson Valley and Berkshires. And I've been trying to get up to Mass MOCA all summer.
On it.

May your day be filled with the Magic Medicine of time honored echniques and fabulously fun and functional forms.
