Trying to get caught up here on my latest projects and eventually caught up on Etsy too. This basket and some others are at a Artisan Craft fair at the Arts and Design Society of Fort Walton Beach, Florida at the moment.
I wanted to use this big shell slice for a handle instead of the basket start - hadn't done one like it before so finding the best way to secure the shell as a handle was a challenge. It is pretty secure but may have to try something else next time to see what works better.
I used 1/4-inch coil and hemp twine to wrap. Added a few turquoise beads too.
All for today - Have a great weekend!!!
