The square bottom of this bowl is woven upside down to create the pattern of an eight-point star. The bowl is then woven from the inside in a twill (going over more than one spokes at a time) in a circular motion to create the spiral design. The traditional holiday colors of red and dark green lend a festive air to this bowl. Reed is hand-dyed and may fade if exposed to direct sunlight. The basket is finished with clear tung oil to enhance the beauty of the reed. © |

The inspiration for this basket was a trip to the Biltmore Estate in the early spring. It was snowing, but the hyacinths were blooming. This basket features hyacinths in delicate shades of pink and peach. © |

The colors of deep turquoise, fuscia, and golden yellow lend a celebratory flavor to this cat's head basket. It features an exaggerated ball-like shape with the traditional (with a twist!) Shaker cat head bottom. Curls woven into the finished basket create the decorative diamond patterns. © |
