Small bowls are approximately 2.5" tall with a 4.5" diameter.
This bowl uses some of the new colors being developed for th art form.
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 the colored wire as
they would in making traditional palm or grass baskets.
These are woven creating beautiful colorful, stylish
shapes with patterns of spirals, reverse swirls and dots.
Telephone baskets are very popular and good quality
ones are hard to find.
Each one is unique.
Worldesigns is in the process of helping a co-op 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.
