Bola means ball in Mexican, and Canastas is the name of traditional Mexican basketry. The beaded beads you can make with this method look like mexican woven baskets, hence the name.
Cath Thomas received the gift of beading from her mother's friend and multi-talented art therapist Berthy Bijlard at age 14. However, she immersed herself in beadweaving only in 2004 after seeing beadwork made by artists for that year's Bead Dreams Contest.
