Steve's cards on the stand behind our potential basket materials
Gwen Egg took the workshop. She is a wonderful teacher. and human being.
The work table towards the end of the day - lots of finished little baskets and my work...
lots of self congratulation and celebration

my effort, now home and making the exercise ball look like a red onion
another basket-making approach in its embryonic stage
The lovely Glynis said it looked like an unfurling fern frond, and I thought it would be lovely to make a tree fern. A future project...
My aim was not to produce any baskets - I have enough for practical purposes. I just like to know how these things are made and help keep the knowledge. I now find myself looking at baskets in magazine ads and working out how they've been made. That's achievement enough for me.
How wonderful. I'm a sucker for anything woven and have a collection of small mats from all over. But I imagine it takes patience and nimble fingers to make those glorious baskets in your photo, neither of which I have. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI do like the alliteration of your title, but wonder what happened to c- v? FF
C+ will make an appearance as the mood, subject and alphabet take me. Creative Cottage Crafts perhaps? Cantankerous Crones Collaborate? Crazies Clutch Canes?
