A Cane based shopping basket.........

I have spent the last few days having fun with this little number!  It has been made for a friend and will be travelling across the world to its new home.





Here it is poor thing - in all its nakedness!  I just thought you might like to see some of the process!

Below are pics of the basket finished!







View showing finished basket front on with the dominant Godseye!










Side on view of basket for an idea of the shape!

I get a whole lot of enjoyment making my baskets and I hope I won't bore you all to death with them!
I am working on a little tutorial for a hanging basket to put on this blog so you can have a go at making something simple.  A little more on that later.

    I am so glad you showed us the bones of one of your baskets. I love the pattern weave across the top of the handle on this one.
