	Plaited Basketry with Birch Bark By Vladimir Yarish, Flo Hoppe and Jim Widess Vladimir Yarish, a master basketmaker from Novgorod, Russia, has done many years of research on birch bark, haunting all the museums and archaeological sites for information on the bark itself, what it is used for, and how the baskets and canisters are made. He has written extensively about his findings in this book. A section in the book shows Vladimir harvesting birch bark in the "dangerous" Russian forest (he always refers to it as "dangerous" and having been in the forest myself harvesting alongside him, I know why - the best season for harvesting is when it's hot and the mosquitos and deer flies come out en masse!) Flo Hoppe has written the directions for the project section which contains 18 projects: simple plain-weave baskets, many double-woven diagonally plaited baskets, shoes, a necklace, surface embellishments, a canister, and a box with pegs. All of the projects have numerous pictures to make following the directions easier. The book ends with a stunning gallery of baskets made from birch bark as well as alternative materials (paper, film strips, copper strips, plastic strapping tape, etc). Since birch bark is not readily available to everyone, the authors wanted to make sure people will be able to make the baskets out of other materials and I think the gallery shows that well. Jim Widess is the force behind this book. He arranged to have Sterling publish the book and he’s also taken all of the pictures. The book has about 1000 pictures in it. *Plaited Basketry with Birch Bark* (2008) (shown) Now Available Contact Flo Hoppe to order. FGHoppe@icloud.com Buy it on Amazon.com
