Pink Christmas basket

Hallo,

   Haven't been able to get in my studio to paint lately so my hands have been busy in the evenings while watching TV - mainly Nebraska Girls Volleyball, Husker Football, cooking shows and a movie or 2....

  Inspired by  trip to Hobby Lobby and the bazillion PINK Christmas decorations this year.

  I used a seashell slice for the base, paper coil and cotton cording. The one took me about 6 hours - ish to do.

   All for today - Take Care

Hallo,

  Tried something new with this basket to make the triangles - it is a fun little pattern, not too complicated but looks cute.

   This basket is 7- and 3/4-inches round and 3 and 1/2 inches tall.

   I am not going to blab much tonight, getting late and I made this basket with the basic coiling techniques same as all the others... 😁

   Have a great evening!!!

Purple and turquoise basket

Hallo,

   My Mom and Sister came to visit for the weekend, last weekend, and amid going to garage sales and an Art Festival we took one afternoon, and I showed them how to make these baskets. They both caught on very quickly and I think my Mom now has a new hobby (maybe my Sister too).

  I started this one with a seashell slice for the base. 

  Later as the day went on we watched the Husker Volleyball girls win another match!!!

   We also went to Hobby Lobby and Micheals the next day and I was tempted by some Christmas style cording so you will see a couple of those soon too.

   All for today - Take Care

Peachy basket

Good morning,

  Another basket for you this morning. This one was done on a slightly bigger plate than yesterdays - 8-inch plate.

  The finished basket is 4 inches tall and 12 inches round.

   Not sure if this one is hand painted or not - the image feels like it, not smooth like a printed one....

   My Mom claimed this basket too. She and my Sister were here to visit last weekend and we kept pretty busy - went to an Art festival in Pensacola, a bunch of garage sales one morning and as a result of teaching them how I make my baskets - a trip to Hobby Lobby and Michaels( I think my Mom now has a new hobby - no I know where I get my tendency to collect hobbies :)

      All for today - Take Care

Another plate basket with roses.

Hallo,

   I am not getting much painting done these days - my studio space is very cluttered and is getting a big make over the weekend after Christmas.

   So another basket for you today - my Mom claimed this one as soon as I finished it. I used a vintage hand painted decorative plate - the kind folks used to hang on their walls for decoration. The second picture shows the signature and the date it was painted.

   All for today but more baskets to come....I happened into Michaels the other days and bought more cording with the idea turning in my head for a couple Christmas baskets, so stay tuned.

Pink roses basket

Hallo,

  Another vintage plate basket for you today. This plate is about 6 inches, and the basket is about 7.5 inches round and 3 inches deep.

   These are so much fun to make, The only hard part is deciding what colors and pattern to use. I really like the spiral pattern, simple but interesting.

   All for today.

Large plate basket

Hallo,

    I now have a not so small collection of vintage reticulated plates - the kind folks used to hang on the walls for decoration. I am using them as a base for baskets - the holes around the edges are perfect to attach the coil to.

   I did this one for a Christmas present.

  The plate is an 8-inch plate and the basket is about 14 inches round and 4 inches deep. It took me about 12 to 14 hours to make.

  There will be a bunch more of these plate baskets to come....I think I am addicted!!!

   Take Care
