So here are a few I have been working on.
A key basket (wall basket) made on a cane frame with cane stakes.
A medieval style bird cage - just the right size to hold a blackbird -
in 1:12th scale of course!!
Or maybe I just needed a challenge!
The little basket in 1:24th scale is made exactly like a real basket - it has 3 rod whale on the base, worked in reverse twining for the main body, topped with a 3 rod whale accent. It is finished with a commercial border and follow-on trac and that is where I had to succumb to a magnifier as I just couldn't see where to put the fine thread!
The best part of this project was declaring it finished!!
Hola Lidi, me gustan tus nuevos trabajos, la cesta de pared es exacta a una que yo tengo en casa.
ReplyDeleteLa pequeña 1:24 es increíble
Un abrazo
Pete is right! Or else you've tipped over that fine line into insanity ;) That's one heck of a beautiful basket!!
