After Shellac:

                  I'm happy that I'm done with my first basket and that it turned out better than I thought it would. I do have few ideas for my next one which I'll be starting soon. This next one that I'll be making will be much, MUCH bigger. Haven't decided on making the stitching more intricate or simpler than the first one. We'll have to see.

Basket Making

             When I added this class to my elective list, I hadn't known that it would be this much fun. As you can see by the little swirl of pine needles with string wrapped around it, I am making a basket. Yeah, I know what you are thinking. How the heck can you have fun making a basket? 

             Once you get in the spin of things, ( Ay, get it?) it can be quite calming. It's this big process at first but you get the spiral in the middle and make sure you put the needles in that bronze gauge every once and a while. and you are set.
