I sold ten baskets through the Boston Society for Arts and Crafts virtual show in 2021. Then I moved. Yikes, not much time to weave. I hope to add several new baskets for sale soon. 

​ 
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 another friend 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. 
Here they are finished!!
The basket on the left is now for sale. Basket on the right has sold.
