2. More baskets and how to make them by Mary White (1903) 200 pages
Illustrated from photographs, and drawings by the author
THE interest in basketry which began in this country some three years ago is on the increase rather than on the wane. This may seem surprising to the uninitiated, but those who have made baskets will understand it. Basketry has proved
itself. In schools and social settlements one notes the contrast between the beginners' mats and baskets, loosely woven and crude in form, and the graceful forms and solid weaving of experienced young craftsmen. A well-made basket shows more than dexterity and skill : it stands for patience and stick-to-it-iveness, and has the value of all good work. Best of all, children love the craft.
To grown people basketry is a boon. It is unusual to find a craft so simple as to require no tools or paraphernalia,
so fascinating that it never palls.

3. Raffia basketry as a fine art (1915) 80 pages
TT is the aim of the authors of this book to make it of practical value * in developing interest in Raffia Basketry. The directions for making a basket have been arranged in text-book form. The Raffia Basket in its highest development, as to Workmanship, Form, Design and Color, is an expression of true art. This may be obtained through the study of other forms of art, such as Painting, Tapestry, Pottery and the like. Much has been done in copying baskets made by various tribes of Indians.

5. Basket-work of the North American Aborigines (1884) 158 pages
BY OTIS T. MASON
The study of the minutest technique in the distribution of aboriginal
arts is very necessary in making up our opinions on questions of An
thropology. The archaeologist is frequently caused to halt in the re
construction of ancient society by his ignorance of the arts of the sav
ages around him.

6. Practical and artistic basketry (1904) 152 pages
BY LAURA ROLLINS TINSLEY
"Ornamental learning1 is a thing of the past and industrial and practical development is
taking its place." It is not the purpose of the author to discuss the advisability of giving to every child an opportunity
to unfold the mental, moral, and physical faculties simultaneously, thus giving an ideal and symmetrical education, but to suggest
some of the ways by which these desired results may be attained.

7. The ancient basket makers of southeastern Utah (1902) 40 pages
BY George H. Pepper
This book tells of the history of the basket makers, their ways and their life style The usual bush of the canon is scrub oak. Canes
or rushes cover the bottom lands in the vicinity of water." This, then, was the home of the Basket Maker, at any rate, so
far as we know. There are evidences that a few, at least, of these people found homes in the caves as far south as the Canon
de Chelle, but nine-tenths of the caves inhabited by these people have been found in the Grand Gulch country.
The Cliff Dwellers practiced artificial flattening of the head. This flattening was confined to the posterior portion of the
skull and was as pronounced in the women as in the men.

8. The pine-needle basket book (1911) 52 pages
BY MRS. M. j. MCAFEE,
ORIGINATOR OF PINE-NEEDLE BASKETS.
The long-leaf pine needles may be gathered green at any season. Experience has taught, however, that the best
time to gather them is in the autumn. Those which fall from the trees, dry or dead, make the most attractive
baskets. They are generally of a rich brown, and have a hard surface, which renders baskets made from them both beautiful and
durable.

9. How to make baskets by Mary White (1915) 258 pages
Today Indian tribes in South America weave baskets from their native palms, South African negroes use reeds and roots, while the
Chinese and Japanese are wonderful workmen in this as in other arts and industries ; but basketry has come down to us more directly through the American Indian. Generations of these weavers have produced masterpieces, many of which are
preserved in our museums, and the young basket maker need not go on long pilgrimages to study
the old masters of his craft.

10 .Practical basket making (1914) by James Geoege Wharton 136 pages
A I-K\V GENERAL HINTS TO I'.ASKKT WORKERS.
Clean raffia as soon as bought by soaking in tepid water for over an
hour.
Rinse well by sousing up and down.
1 lung up at the large ends to dry.
lUunt needles are generally better than sharp. Thread needles with
the dark and hard end of raffia. In sewing keep raffia of one width as
far as possible. On the evenness of the raffia stitches the beauty of the
basket largely depends.
In sewing, move needle as often as possible. The eye is liable to
shred the raffia.
Dampen the raffia frequently while working.
Take out the twist of raffia as you sew.
Take a step at* a time and do that well.
Be sure you know what you are going to do next before you proceed.
Make haste slowly until you have learned how.
Copy a simple basket first.
Make your first basket without any color or design in it. Aim for
perfect stitch and perfect shape.

11. The basket maker (1909) 72 pages
BY LUTHER WESTON TURNER
Basketry has been called one of the fads of the newest education. It was one of the essentials of
the oldest education. Basketry still holds a commanding position among the arts of men, even in
countries called highly civilized. Its place in schools is still somewhat in dispute, but unquestionably
it offers to children a clean and educative handicraft. Properly taught, it vitalizes certain
periods in history, fosters motor control, develops judgment and taste, and familiarizes the pupil
with one of the ancient and honorable occupations
of mankind.
________________________________________________
12. The making of Indian and other baskets is a very interesting and a very enjoyable experience.
But unlike many fads there is something, in the making of baskets that will keep the art
alive, when those who practised it merely as a fad have forgotten that
they ever were interested in it.
With this eBook you could easily turn this hobby into a part time money making HOME BUSINESS.
If you are an ARTS & CRAFTS person and love making interesting items at home in your spare time, and then like to sell them, then this is for you.
Also at the same time you could just as happily make these beautiful baskets and other items to decorate your home.
