A rustic-contemporary basket

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you my newest creation; a medium sized round basket with a contemporary handle!
The basket, as ususal, is made of natural brown willow; for the handle piece I used a slightly curved piece of willow that I found in the woods. The basket is ideal for storing apples, potatoes, onions, nuts, etc. at home.
What do you think?

Lavender maces!

I have been making these lavender "maces" lately using the lavender flowers I picked a couple of weeks ago...it is almost as relaxing as basketmaking :)
The good thing about these maces is that due to the tight weaving, they keep the dry flowers inside; the maces can be used as decorative items, or could be hung in your closet as a protection against moths.
They smell heavenly!

A small oval basket for the environmentally conscious!

Why is it ideal for the eco-friendly user?
Well, due to it's reasonable size (approx. 15 cm X 38 cm) you won't be throwing any unnecessary items into it...only what you really need :)
The oval shaped "rustic" looking basket was made of buff and brown willow; you definitely won't mistake it for someone else's basket, I guarantee :)


Should you be interested in making your own rustic basket, I am running workshops in the Leamington Spa and Oxford area this autumn. To book your place and find out more about my one day courses, please send me an email!
