Clouds by Doug Johnston

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

The Clouds basket is one in a series of baskets utilizing the density of the stitching to create embroidery-like designs on the basket surface. It's made from #6 100% cotton cord that is coiled and stitched with sewing thread. The resulting textile is flexible but stiff enough to hold its shape.
