One of the things I enjoyed most was seeing how absolutely different the traditions were. The other thing I loved was seeing how absolutely similar they were!
I love the two-tone basket this woman is crafting.
These two were made by a 12yo.
Seems that duct tape is ubiquitous. Here is is used to cover the hat mold.
These artisans from North Carolina even make basket people!
And here, just for Beadlizard, is a woman making very finely woven baskets and then embellishing them with miniscule beads. Incredible!

My cousin's wife is a basket maker. She is always fascinated by my spinning. I, in turn, can't believe her baskets! Excellent photos!! Who'd have expected that the duct tape would make it into the show? ;)
Sorry to read about your dad's illness. It is so hard when your parents get sick.
