Seashells in a resin base

Hallo,

  Trying something new for basket bases - I made this one from resin and seashells. I have 2 molds in good sizes for baskets. The one is clear with a turquoise blue tint to it.

  The basket is 9.5 inches round and 3.5 inches tall.

  I will be making more of these resin bases. They are light weight and easy to work with.

   All for today - Take Care

Turtle basket

 

Hallo,

  I have a bunch of new baskets to show you over the next couple days and then low and behold 3 new paintings!!!!!

The base for this basket was made for me by my friend Kim who does great stuff. The basket is about 11.5 inches round and is about 1.5 inches tall. 

  I am experimenting with some curly cues for decorations along the top edges.

   All for today

Lakeside basket

  Hallo,

    Another basket finished off - it took me about 2 weeks of working on it for 2 to 3 hours each evening to make it.

   I used a pretty vintage plate as the base using colors that matched the plate.

   It is 11 inches round and almost 4 inches tall.

   I do have a couple paintings in the work....more to come.

Driftwood basket

Hallo,

   I have been working on this basket for about a week and a half and finally got it finished. First time incorporating a piece of driftwood into the basket so there was some finageling to get it where I wanted it. 

  I made the base of the basket this time too using a flat rock slice and resin which worked pretty well. I left space around the edge and drilled holes in the resin to attach the cording - also helped to sand the edges of the resin so the coil didn't slip as much.

   This basket measures 10 inches round and 3.5 inches tall . Took me almost 20 hours to make.

   Have a great day!!!

Purple basket

Hallo,

   Another small basket to show off today - I used a seashell slice for the base and the thicker cording, so it went a bit faster to make - about 5 or 6 hours.

  The basket is 6.5 inches round and about 2 inches tall.

   Have a great weekend ya'll!!

Asian style plate basket

Hallo,

   Baskets, baskets and more baskets - I haven't had much time to paint in the studio lately, but I will be back at it soon!!!

   The base for this basket is a vintage plate with an asian/oriental design .

  The basket is 10 inches round and about 3 inches tall. It took me about 15 or 16 hours ish to make.

   It may not show that well in the photos but the orange/red of the main color in the basket is just a few shades darker than the orange/red in the plate - it tends to show more reddish in the pictures for some reason.

    All for today - take care

Seashell basket

Hallo,

   Finished off another basket this week. I will eventually have paintings to show off again soon - I have several in the works just not much time to paint.

  For this basket I used a handmade pottery plate that a friend of mine made for me. She made it with the holes already there and I love the seashells!!! The plate is about 1/4 inch thick which is perfect for the core I use also - the core doesn't slide up and down like it can with some of the old plates I have been using.

All for today - Take Care!!!
