shady sadie: I've just finished my second wicker baby cradle. Yours are beautiful. Very similar to mine. I use a rectangular base and put them on rockers (kindly made by my husband) and the hoods come more to the front. I would really enjoy an e-mail correspondence if you have any time. I work FT as an RN as well as weave so I know how that is.

Cathryn Peters: If you need answers to any of your questions on chair seatweaving, wicker repair or basketry, please visit my domain website at http://www.WickerWoman.com/
I can't answer questions here, especially if you don't supply your email address. Not sure if it automatically posts here or if you have to post it in the message. I'm trying both ways now myself.
Thanks!

lloyd Williams: Cathryn the diamond Willow is entirely new to me.
Interesting but preparation appears labor intensive.
Then good things allways require an extra effort.
Guard your Chair Seating Techniques book for www.alibris.com wants $164.93 for their one copy.
They do have George Sterns for only$52.94
Forum is coming to life and this craftsman gives you credit.
Slide show about Willow interesting.

Barbara Ruocco: This site is wonderful-I have 2 ladder back chairs of my grandmother and I hoped to do rush seats myself. I need directions though. Your work is beautiful. I would love to be able to do this myself, the feeling of accomplishment and pride would be a wonderful memory for me and whoever gets these beautiful chairs next. Thank you for letting me be your quest. Happy Holidays

Joe Walker: Our Wakefield dinning chairs have raised 2 kids, 2 grands, several dogs, cats and other critters as well as moved no less than 17 times to a lot of places between Georgia and Washington. As you would guess the chairs need re-caning and I am retired and ready to do the job but have no idea where to start.
Thanks for a great web page and just maybe you can reccomend a starting point for me.
Thanks

Marie Strickland: Just browsing to see if I can learn to cane a chair seat. So far, I haven't found the instructions or pictures, but will keep trying. I see from other messages, that they must be here someplace.

Gayle Kimbrough: I just finished my first paper fiber rush chair and want to thank you for the photos and helpful information. It's not perfect (NOW I understand what "right angles" mean..) but it looks pretty good.

Caroline from UK: I was looking for examples to mend an old footstool that has been covered in plastic (with taffeta underneath to keep the tension)'chessboard' style. I came across your site - its wonderful and very inspiring! You must have loads of patience and, of course, talent and skill. Keep up the good work - and your website is very effective.

Ann Walker: I have some very old chairs with woven cane bottoms and I'm trying to find out how to replace them my self, I know a little bit about weaving but not much just a little basket weaving

Alison (Northern Ireland): Your website is wonderful. I am currently studying Web Page design and would love to know how yours was created. I have been attending an Antiques Restoration class for years and have just learnt the 7-step method of caning. I don't know how anyone could make a living at it as it is so time consuming but very satisfying when you see the finished product. Your work is stunning. Any chance of visiting our side of the pond???

love dogs. One of the older females met up with
a skunk this morning--when she & Dad went after

doug: Love the site. Having trouble getting the slide show for picture trail to work. Might be corporate filter-will have to check from home. Been caning in eastern OH for 30 years, this is great.

Jan: Hi, I was just looking for info re: wicker when I came to your site and saw the Lab puppy pics...well, being a Lab lover, it was very easy to take a detour to see your pups! Molly is beautiful and the puppies are darling! They grew so much in one month...wow thanks for posting!!! I looked thru them twice with a big smile on my face! I will email you soon with my question(s). Thanks! Jan PS Wish I was there to rub their puppy bellies and smell their puppy breath!!! (Only dog and puppy lovers will get this...to others, I know it sounds weird!)

Janie Paulin: Dear Cathryn, I have emailed you quite awhile ago and asked if you would have a pattern for the"antler basket" with the entire skull. I have two and I have tried to line-up the holes for drilling and I just wondered if you had any suggestions. The drilling would be most critical and I don't want to mess it up. I have a picture of one of yours and that does help but a pattern or instructions would be great. Janie

Chris Dahl: Words can't express how much I enjoyed viewing everything on your new website. Have enjoyed corresponding with you and having you teach me the wonderful art of basketry with antlers. Please do continue teaching and your desire to show others this art.

Terry Waller: Saw your article in the Finishing & Restoration magazine and had to check out the site. I currently do all types of wicker and cane restoration so am always looking for sources and information. Seems the wicker/cane business seems to go in spurts. I may not do any for three or four months, and then wind up with twenty or thirty pieces in a month.

Betsey Sloan: Cathryn, I've seen your correspondence re: antlers for the NCBA. I've spoken with director of the Division of Wildlife in NC as well as one of their gamewardens. Mule deer are okay to use, not whitetail or any part thereof. I do have their permission to bring in an antler (whitetail)for demonstration purposes. Guess I spoke to different people than you did. Please contact me direct if you have any further concerns. Betsey Sloan

deeswicker.com, and get back to me if you care too.

Rae Hunter: Your site is wonderful! I love the way the baskets disappear and turn into another basket. The variety is unbelievable. I particulary like the antler sculpture. You are a very talented lady. Thank you for sharing, this is a real dream site.
January 28, 2002 11:12PM
Carol Votaw: Enjoyed your pictures very much. I am a basketweaver, but have only woven 1 antler basket. Yours are beautiful.
