| Love the variety of color schemes... | 
Each year, I teach my students about Native Californian basketry. They learn about the variety of basket styles that were created for use in the early days: Decorative Storage Baskets, Conical Burden Baskets, Winnowing Baskets, Food Preparation Baskets, and Fish Traps. I like the idea that it requires a great deal of focus and patience. Once you learn how to make a basket, you never look at another basket the same way. This year's crop of baskets were very colorful, just like my class! It was a pleasure seeing students sitting together, talking while weaving, during center time.
