Artwork Description
In the mid-1960s, Ed Rossbach took some time away from weaving wall hangings to explore different “off-loom” fiber projects. He tried coiling baskets, wrapping lampshade frames in raffia, and even macramé. Christmas Basket was woven from gift-wrap ribbon and incorporates plastic holly berries and leaves as well as cloth poinsettia petals.
