I'm Brandaen Jones
I was inspired by my heritage and my childhood to delve into the history of Irish basketry and from there to the history of basketry around the world .
​
Basketry in Ireland is functional and normally has more than one use . living in such poverty , the 18th and 19th centuries saw baskets as art and the only way the Irish could express themselves.
​
The entire dying process is a closely guarded secret for many families and to remain secret, many baskets were made from the rim down.
​
I have kept to the original spirit of Irish basketry and all my own threads are hand dyed and achieved naturally except for three shades.  Like the old families of weavers...my dyes are secret as well...so don't ask.
​
I love the entire weaving process and i love American shaker and native American weaving as well....so don't be surprised by me stretching my wings into other lands.
​
Always follow your bliss ....what makes you happy ...even if i'm never rich ...my bliss makes me rich indeed.
​
I hate writing these things so please if you see me ...tell me what you want me to add here ...cause ...I have no clue .
​
hugs and joy to you all always
Brandaen
Tá mé Brandaen Jones
Bhí mé spreagtha ag mo oidhreacht agus mo óige a delve isteach an stair caoladóireacht hÉireann agus ó ann chun an stair caoladóireacht ar fud an domhain.
​
Tá caoladóireacht in Éirinn feidhmiúil agus de ghnáth tá úsáid níos mó ná aon. ina gcónaí i mbochtaineacht san, chonaic na céadta bliain 18ú agus 19ú ciseáin mar ealaín agus an bealach amháin a d'fhéadfadh an Ghaeilge a chur in iúl iad féin.
 
Tá an próiseas ag fáil bháis ar fad rúnda go dlúth cosanta do go leor teaghlaigh agus a choimeád faoi rún, bhí go leor ciseáin déanta as an imeall síos.
 
Choinnigh mé le spiorad bunaidh caoladóireacht na hÉireann agus tá mo snáitheanna féin lámh daite agus bhain siad amach go nádúrtha ach amháin i gcás trí dathanna. Cosúil leis na teaghlaigh d'aois na fíodóirí ...
tá mo ruamanna rúnda chomh maith ... mar sin ní gá a iarraidh.
 
Is breá liom an bpróiseas fíodóireacht ar fad agus is breá liom Croiteoir Mheiriceá agus fíodóireacht Mheiriceá ó dhúchas, chomh maith .... ní amhlaidh a dhéanamh a bheith ionadh agam síneadh mo sciatháin i dtíortha eile.
 
Leanúint i gcónaí do bliss .... cad a dhéanann tú sásta ... fiú má riamh tá mé saibhir ... dhéanann mo bliss saibhir orm go deimhin.
​
Is fuath liom scríobh na nithe seo le do thoil mar má fheiceann tú dom ... inis dom cad ba mhaith leat mé a chur anseo ... faoi deara ... Tá mé aon clue.
​
hugs agus áthas a thabhairt duit go léir i gcónaí Brandaen
