Paper Yarn becomes a basket with meaning

Remember the paper yarn from the last post? I spun it, and wove it into the lid of my basket.
I used commercial paper yarn for the warp, and some weft.  All of the blue weft is handspun, from Thai unryu, Habu paper yarn, and calligraphy/sumie paper.  Some of it is dyed.  I wanted to use up some of the bits and pieces from my practice papers, and this is the result.
The bottom part is perigord weave, and the blue is twining.
