| How-To: Traveling Craft Kit By Future Craft CollectiveHow many times have you been out and about - on the road, at the beach or in the woods with a hankering to get your craft on but no supplies handy? Which always feels like such a shame, since nature, travel or even being stranded in a train station can provide such endless inspiration for your crafty endeavors.

So make your kit. Hit the road. And make something!If by chance you decide to just stay put, there's no reason not to have a box of inspiration to carry out into the yard.Read the Full Story » | More on CRAFT » | Comments » | Read more articles in CRAFT Projects | Digg this! blog.craftzine.com |

Nathalie Miebach's Woven Data Sculptures My eyes almost popped out of my head when I first saw Nathalie Miebach's incredible woven sculptures, and my mind boggled further when I found out that they depict environmental data gathered by the artist. The subtitle of one of the above pieces is "tango between air, land, and sea," and her work does indeed appear to be dancing within its basket-y constraints!

Using the methodologies and processes of both disciplines, I translate scientific data related to astronomy, ecology and meteorology into woven sculptures. My method of translation is principally that of weaving -- in particular basket weaving -- as it provides me with a simple yet highly effective grid through which to interpret data in three-dimensional space.

I love woven baskets, but these take basketry to a new level.
