On beyond rugs...twined objects

Waste basket. 

This is twining around an object.

It gives me a sort of 1970's vibe. I don't want to get carried away and twine around jars and vases and album covers but the waste basket was ugly to begin with. 

I used the can as my "loom", draping the warp pieces over the bottom. The twining tends will be in the same diagonal direction since you are going around the object rather than back and forth across the warp.

I had enough remnants from a previous mat to make the waste basket cover: cotton linings, yukata fabric and silk kimono cloth.
