Square storage boxes

I'm currentlly working on designs for a rocking cradle, a lidded shopping trolley to name a couple - and I'm so enjoying myself! I haven't had a lot of time for designing new stuff for the last 6 months and it's so good to have the freedom to do that again
I hope you all have a wonderful week.
I absolutely adore the stacking baskets!
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful feeling to get to concentrate on what one loves best. :)
What wonderful work you do! To think we probably drove straight by where you live and did not realize such wonderful happenings were going on nearby!
ReplyDeleteWe stay often on the Gold Coast when we go to Australia!

Lidi, They are all so wonderful!!! I love your work.
ReplyDelete¡Perfectas! :)
ReplyDeleteI can never see enough of your gorgeous baskets.
ReplyDeleteThey are absolutely stunning.. Are there any tutorials on your site? What materials do you use?
ReplyDeleteI have been working on a tutorial - off and on - for a while and one day I will finish it and post about it!!
DeleteMaterials I use are varied - some baskets are made on a cane frame and cane stakes while others are made using fine wire for stakes. I use waxed linen thread for weavers ranging from 1 ply to 4 ply - again, depending on the basket I'm making.
Thank you so much for your interest in my baskets!!
Cheers - Lidi
Thank you so much to all of you! Sometimes I think I should have more to talk about on my blog than making baskets - but that's what I love doing! Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments! Mini hugs to you.....
