@leah @davidrevoy that is a constant struggle for me as well. the duality of valuing the visibly handmade (i.e. embracing the imperfection) and also valuing highly proficient craft (i.e. reaching the point where i can make it invisible, or even mimick something else).
they are so tough to balance.
dear #woodworking #making #repair #crafts #weaving bubble, i am absolutely stumped. i saw photos of this easy chair’s woven back rest, and my mind is just completely blanking on how this works.
there’s a wooden frame, it is visibly spiral-wrapped in cane (or rattan or whatever), and the strands only travel between opposing sides in the front. there doesn’t seem to be room for any of the strands to make an about-face so it can travel back to the other side in front. if they keep their twisting direction, they’d have to travel on the back side of the frame, which they evidently don’t.
any ideas anyone? (if you can boost or ping someone in the know, i’d be most grateful because i’m set to lose sleep over this)
