1 MISS WILKIE'S BASKETRY 1
'MONO the novel features
of more than general in
terest at the Arts and
Crafts Shop in the Gen
eral Office building, is the
basketry work which is
being done bv Miss Harriet C. Wilkie, a
native of the State and an expert in the
art, whose magazine articles upon the
subject have attracted widespread at
tention.
While the motifs are not new, the
forms and many of the designs having
been copied from the Indians, with
whom Miss Wilkie has studied, there is,
nevertheless, a certain quaint native
character to her work which marks it as
distinctive and a bit apart from other
similar creations. Native materials are,
to a considerable extent, used, such as
sweet grass and pine needles, in addition
to raphia from distant Madagascar,
which is absolutely indispensable in the
basket weaving art.
Perhaps the greatest charm of Miss
Wilkie's baskets lies in their rioh colors,
all produced from vegetable dyes much
in the same manner that the native art
rug weavers produce their colors. For
instance, yellow comes from the onion
skin, brown from red oak bark, indigo
from the indigo plant, pink from cran
berry juice, black and bistre from log
wood chips, and so on down through an
almost endless line of varying tints and
shades.
The real secret of basketry, like every
thing else creative, lies in its foundation,
the form and outline depending upon the
frame work, which is made from native
ash wood and Indian rattan ; this latter
material being the stem of a vine which
often grows five hundred feet without
a branch or a leaf; the bark being
scraped from the stems by machinery,
and reduced to sizes running from
a quarter of au inch in diameter down
ward. Upon this framework the raphia,
sweet grass and pine needles are placed,
the latter being sewed in a coil round
and round, a linen carpet thread being
used to bind it.
The various familiar Indian shapes
bowls, trays and covered baskets are
all used, including a variety of stitches,
among the best known being the Mari
posa, Navajo and Samoan (in reality a
union of the Mariposa and Navajo), and
the Lazy Squaw, so called because it is
the easiest of all. The only real differ
ence between Miss Wilkie's constructive
methods and those of the Indians is that
she uses commercial materials, with
which the Indians were never familiar.
In addition to the articles which Miss
Wilkie is producing for sale at The
Shop, she is instructing private classes
including both women and children, her
youngest pupil being a little miss four
years old, who is thus early quite an
adept in the art.
The department of woodwork, another
of the Shop's special features, will be
treated in a future article.
Last week's story was an interesting
description of native art-rug weaving.
