Not for sale but I couldn't resist showing you a new line of baskets. These are based on pieces of cherry given to me by a friend. Another friend cut them and sliced the walnuts for me and my partner woodburned the leaves and acorns. I love the collaborative effort! The last picture is two more bases waiting to be baskets. Stay tuned to see how they turn out.
Agate Moon: a slice of agate is held by a wire frame. The pine needle coiling and open netting section perfectly compliment this piece. It would look great in a window with the light shining through the agate and would work equally well on a table.
