But before I do, allow me to introduce myself.
Hello, my name is Mohamed Fowroj and I consider basket weaving to be one of the most fun things in the world to do!
It's true - I love everything about this wonderful hobby - from selecting the materials to carefully crafting each design to placing the finished piece in a place of honor in my home.
I also love basket weaving because I work in a very technical job, and this hobby is very relaxing and also gives me a sense of accomplishment when I complete a project.
Plus, people really seem to enjoy receiving my handmade baskets as gifts! (And I really enjoy all the money I save not having to buy gifts from expensive stores!)
I guess you could say that I'm addicted to basket weaving and all its incredible benefits - and now I want to enable you to enjoy this amazing hobby as well! The "World's Oldest Known Craft" Is Still Going Strong Today! Did you know that basket weaving is a craft nearly as old as human civilization itself?
Even today, archeologists throughout the world continue to unearth baskets dating back thousands of years. Radiocarbon dating of baskets found in Faiyum, located in Upper Egypt, indicate they are between 10,000 and 12,000 years old.
Other baskets, found in the Middle East, date back over 7,000 years. Historians agree that these ancient baskets are older than any pottery artifacts excavated to date.
In fact, most historians agree that basket weaving is the world's oldest known craft.
Throughout the centuries, baskets have served a utilitarian purpose. The type of plant life available in a region affected the choice of materials used by basket makers. Many materials require a specific method of weaving, twisting and/or braiding, as well as a certain texture, to render them durable. Primarily used as vessels or containers, there are baskets woven so tightly that they can carry water and other liquids without leaking a drop!
In ancient times, essential basket functions were to carry food, water and seeds, as well as to store clothing and to transport everything from children to chickens.
Today, as in the past, baskets are used to carry dozens of items, from eggs to flowers. Specialty baskets, particularly those crafted by native tribes, serve to carry and store a myriad of items, including, but not limited to: - Hair adornments
- Fruits and nuts
- Mail
- And sewing supplies
Baskets are even used to store supplies that crafters use to create other baskets.
Also, because they are handmade, many baskets today are considered decorative pieces - or works of art.
People living on nearly every continent collect and display baskets ranging in value from less than a dollar up to the highest known advertised price of $45,000!
