So I would wrap the lasher around the basket two and a half times; if it was at least that long, I would start lashing. Unfortunately, I often found the lasher was too short. So I assumed that I had heard wrong, maybe it should be three times around, but that didn&#8217;t work consistently either. It was so frustrating to have my lasher run out one or two stakes from being finished!!<\/p>\n<p>So, being me, I started to analyze when I ran out and when I didn&#8217;t. Which was correct &#8211; two and a half times around the basket or three times around the basket or &#8230;?? I took notes, lots of notes. <em>I know, I know, you are thinking this lady is crazy and you are probably right, but I did learn a lot!<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1050516.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18724 size-portfolio\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1050516-495x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"495\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1050516-495x400.jpg 495w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1050516-845x684.jpg 845w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/index.php\/2018\/04\/11\/determining-lasher-length\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read more<span class=\"more-link-arrow\"><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><div class='post_delimiter'><\/div><\/div><div class='post_author_timeline'><\/div><\/article><article class='post-entry post-entry-type-standard post-entry-18623 post-loop-7 post-parity-odd single-big  post-18623 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-events category-new-baskets' ><div class='blog-meta'><\/div><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix standard-content'><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h2 class='post-title entry-title' >\t<a href='https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/index.php\/2018\/03\/30\/spring-basket-classes\/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Spring (??)

There were signs &#8230; wild daffodils in Kentucky, redbud in North Carolina. And I was able to enjoy coffee outside with a dear friend. However, winter was also evident &#8211; two days of snow in North Carolina and at least six inches of that white stuff on the ground in the Virginia mountains.

I believe that focusing on excellence, on developing and fine tuning our skills, encourages creativity.

This principle is also evident when you look at other artists and the progression of their work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mastery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Malcom Gladwell has made popular the idea that it takes 10,000 hours to master or become &#8216;good&#8217; at something. That&#8217;s 10,000 hours of work! And the wicker basketmaker&#8217;s school in Lichtenfels, Germany (<em>Staatliche Berufsfachschule f\u00fcr Flechtwerkgestaltung)<\/em> has a three year basket weaving program. That&#8217;s right, willow weavers in Germany go to school full time for three years, after which time they graduate and begin their basket weaving careers as Wickerwork Designers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/P1050054.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18497 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/P1050054-1030x579.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1030\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/P1050054-1030x579.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/P1050054-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/P1050054-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/P1050054-1500x843.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/P1050054-705x396.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/P1050054-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/index.php\/2018\/01\/10\/creativity-and-excellence\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read more<span class=\"more-link-arrow\"><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><div class='post_delimiter'><\/div><\/div><div class='post_author_timeline'><\/div><\/article><article class='post-entry post-entry-type-standard post-entry-18393 post-loop-11 post-parity-odd single-big  post-18393 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-events tag-association-of-michigan-basketmkers tag-basket-guild tag-basket-weaving tag-pinwheels tag-riverwalk tag-three-squared tag-twizarr tag-wrapped-up tag-zoe' ><div class='blog-meta'><\/div><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix standard-content'><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h2 class='post-title entry-title' >\t<a href='https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/index.php\/2017\/10\/31\/october-classes-and-color\/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: October Classes and Color'>October Classes and Color\t\t\t<span class='post-format-icon minor-meta'><\/span>\t<\/a><\/h2><span class='post-meta-infos'><time class='date-container minor-meta updated' >October 31, 2017<\/time><span class='text-sep text-sep-date'>\/<\/span><span class='comment-container minor-meta'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/index.php\/2017\/10\/31\/october-classes-and-color\/#respond\" class=\"comments-link\" >0 Comments<\/a><\/span><span class='text-sep text-sep-comment'>\/<\/span><span class=\"blog-categories minor-meta\">in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/index.php\/category\/events\/\" rel=\"tag\">Basket Weaving Events<\/a> <\/span><span class=\"text-sep text-sep-cat\">\/<\/span><span class=\"blog-author minor-meta\">by <span class=\"entry-author-link\" ><span class=\"vcard author\"><span class=\"fn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/index.php\/author\/krazyveld\/\" title=\"Posts by Annetta K\" rel=\"author\">Annetta K<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/header><div class=\"entry-content\" ><p>Well, October has come and gone.
