I am making a basket! While I was exploring around the biosphere Sissy mentioned that it would be great if we could have something dedicated to carrying around stuff in kind of like those baskets people use in the grocery stores. Since were keeping our trips to the biosphere secret we can’t just put the plants and rocks we find into our back packs unless we want to clean them out thoroughly before we go home.
After browsing around in the library I found a historical anthropology book on how the Native American’s lived long ago. In it I found a diagram of a woven wood basket that was used to gather herbs and other things. While I don’t have strips of bark ready for weaving, I did see a recycling dumpster full of wires and rubber strips on my home from school, as trash day is not till next Monday, I think I’ll go by and salvage some on the way home from school tomorrow.
