At last ........a potato basket!

I have been mulling over how to best tackle this basket in miniature for a good year now.  I had to be sure that all the weaving was tight and even across the board and I managed to do it in the end.  I still have a little bit of "tweaking" to do but over all - I am happy with the result.  What do you think?
I shouldn't really ask!!  But what do you think?!





Hope you are all keeping well!  Until next time.

  5. Being Irish I have a deep affinity with potatoes and this basket is a fabulous way to store them perfectly. Keep them cool and dark as they like!! Once again I want not just this miniature one but also one in 1:1 scale. You are so inventive in your projects and ideas and the workmanship is beautiful. Thank you for elevating the potato to being part of this artwork :;)

  7. Hi Lidi, I have not seen a potato basket before. Have you seen one in real size, or just a photograph. What is their origins?
    Wonderful work.
