I love these baskets!

I made the smaller brown basket last night and the red and blue one today. The third one took less time so I'm improving. :) I hand cut the weavers on the first two baskets but I got out my little photo cutter for the third. That saved quite a bit of time. One of my favorite Longaberger baskets has two swinging handles similar to the stationary handles on these baskets. I'm thinking about how to make that work. I'll let you know if I figure it out.

A tisket, a tasket, I made a new basket

Thanks to Kris at 1 Inch Minis. I made this beautiful basket from her tutorial. I will be making more of these!

Sail boats by Mercedes of Liberty Biberty; handpainted pillow and shelf by Sandy Copeland; candles by Gaye of My Small Obsession; painting by Joan. Everything else in the photo was made or adapted by me.

Thanks for the ideas!

So here's the finished piece all ready to list in my shop. I added the cutting board with cheese, grapes and a knife; the small blue water jug; and the fern planted in a basket. The cheese and jug were made from polymer clay. The grapes came from a fake plant. The basket was made with a circle of wood for the base, aida cloth for the woven part, and cording for the handle and trim. I stained the finished basket with oak stain and planted some plastic fern leaves in it. I could add more but I will leave it as is for the customer to embellish if he/she wishes.
