Happy New Year !

During the past year I shared a little history and background for each of the baskets I made and posted on this blog.  This year as I finish a new basket I will post a photograph of the basket along with a brief description about the basketweaving process. I hope you will continue to enjoy viewing my baskets.

The new year is a time to inventory basket supplies after a busy fall of basketmaking.  I try to create baskets using the supplies I have on hand. This allows me to design baskets of various sizes and variations of basic basket styles.  I combine reed of various colors and sizes  not dictated by a specific basket style.
