My Chair Caning Project

May 20, 2021 by admin Leave a Comment

I’ve dis­cov­ered chair can­ing and here’s my first project.

I had intend­ed to do the clas­sic six-sided pat­tern but end­ed up with some­thing like the dou­ble lace Vic­to­ria. The holes became tight and impos­si­ble to make the final fin­ish­ing bor­der. I’m ok with these “mis­takes.” The chair is extreme­ly stur­dy and looks nice, and it also looks hand­made with­out the border.
I have a mate to this chair so I will have to repeat the “mis­takes” so they look the same.
This project is quick­er and in many cas­es eas­i­er than knit­ting or cro­chet­ing. I enjoyed doing it and have sev­er­al more chairs to cane.
P.S. I con­tin­ue the lit­er­ary and art work.

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
