Correction on Armature of the Folk Pig.

The front of the basket was previously open to allow supports.
One of yesterdays photos was incorrectly described as the back of the basket.  Actually, this was the front of the basket that had been woven on after I braced the object.  It was an easy mistake to make as they looked the same.  I'm making the correction in the event that someone is inspired  to try to make one of these on their own.

After the internal supports were in place, strips were taped to the front of the basket and woven in the same manner as the rear of the basket.  They needed to be there to be some support for the head and for future parts of the armature that will represent the musculature of the pig.  Once the front of the basket was woven in place, I covered the whole structure with newsprint and glue as described in my last blog post. Then the block support for the head was created and taped into place as explained in yesterday's post.
