Star Wrapped Basket

I created this small-medium basket yesterday.  I was inspired by the pottery stars that I purchased from http://indiantrailpottery.blogspot.com/.  I found the maroon twill tape in a prim shop this summer knowing that it would be perfect in a basket. 

The basket features a solid wood bottom (round) and side handles.  Approximate measurements are:  10 5/8" to top of handles, 9 1/4" to top of rim.  Top diameter is 8 1/2" and bottom diameter is 5".  The sides flare out gradually. 

Stained in my own boiled black walnut dye.

Divided Magazine Basket

This is a great basket for magazines or newspapers, but could also be used as a project basket for knitting or rug hooking. 

The basket is constructed on a wooden base/handle combination that bears the entire weight of the contents.  Makes it perfect for keeping all your favorite prim magazines in!

The cross-stitch detail is made up of two different materials:  the horizontal strip is 1" wide maple that is laid over the vertical spokes and the stitching that holds it in place is narrow hamburg cane that has been dyed a deep maroon.  A fun technique that adds a different design element to this basket. 

Approximate measurements are:  height to rim of basket - 10", height to top of handle 13", length is 15" and width is 12"
