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

Green and red Christmas basket X2

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

Spiral basket

Hallo,

   Spirals - so fun to do!! Another car project for a long drive.

  I used 1/4-inch coil and hemp twine.

  I find it hard to read in the car so this keeps me busy without annoying the Hubby with 'excessive conversation' 😁

  Have a great day!!!

Loopy yellow basket

Hallo,

  A couple little out of town trips with lots of driving time leads to me finishing off several small baskets this month.

  The base of the basket is a circa 1970's drink coaster. 

   I tried something new with the loopy stuff today.

  More baskets to come.
