New Cup Shape - WORLDESIGNS EXCLUSIVE
4.25" tall, 4.25" diameter at top
These wonderful cup shapes are useful as vases for small bouquets of dried flowers. Place a small glass inside for live flowers. They also can be used as a pencil or utensil cup.
The baskets are made out of the multicolored, coated wires that run within telephone cable. As technology moves toward fiber optics, cable wire is recycled or produced for craft use. One technique that has now developed is the soft wire method which requires weaving of colored wire as in traditional palm or grass baskets. These baskets are woven creating beautiful colorful, stylish shapes using different weaves and changes in weave direction to create patterns of spirals, reverse swirls and dots.
Worldesigns is in the process of helping co-ops of South African telephone wire weavers to become financially independent. We hope that their unique art form will appeal to you and that we can continue to sell their artwork.
Marvel at the talent used to make this true work of usable art.
