A Danish textile and fiber artist, Birgitte works with paper rather than traditional birch bark, and implements an old Scandinavian basket weaving technique. Folding, weaving, painting, and sealing add up to make a surprisingly sturdy container that can be more than a beautiful conversation piece.
If you'd like to try your hand at making a basket of your own, Birgitte offers the instructions and long paper strips in her shop, Sew Danish.
