Beatrice Manuel holds a basket that she made and a bundle of devil's claw, called a "hat". The devil's claw fibers have to be stripped from the pods and the seeds are also removed. Devil's claw is the strongest of all the basket materials. It must be soaked to soften before using. The slides in this collection were filmed on Kodachrome 64 film. In 2003 the slides were scanned on a Minolta Dimage Multiscan Pro at 48 bit color. Each TIFF scan was 11.68 inches by 7.88 inches with a resolution of 300 ppi. The file size was approx. 47.4 MB. In Nov 2006, the original TIFF scans were cropped, color corrected, resized to 6.08 inches by 8.89 inches with a resolution of 72 ppi and converted to JPEGs using ACDSee, v8.0.
