The “Basket Goddesses” week is winding down. It’s a mad dash to finish….
Above is one of the Boxcar Baskets in progress. Below is Connie’s “exhibit basket” right after the rims have been added and clamped…
Here’s Suzanne’s basket that is next in line for the rims to be “clamped in”…
Here’s Diana’s basket, rims are in and next are the first steps to the handle installation…
Here’s Mr. Basketmaker working on the attachment of the handle to Kathy’s Wine Carrier Basket…
Below is Connie working on installing the first weaver of her small pin cushion basket…
I like this shot because it shows Kathy in action (she’s an ‘on-the-go’ kind of gal)… getting her pin cushion basket off and running…
Here’s Suzanne nailing in her rims right before sundown. And will you look at that pattern! I was a first-hand witness at how challenging this pattern was (my studio/office was a few steps above the weaving area… let’s say I could see, and hear, everything).
The Goddesses were still hard at work in Eric’s workshop even though it was very dark outside…
Here’s a pic I took outside, as I was looking into Eric’s workshop. It was overcast and almost pitch dark except for the light radiating from the window…
Eric and Lynne are a dynamic duo. Weaving in their beautiful studio was an amazing experience. I hope you will all try it!
The “Basket Goddesses” are like busy bees working on beautiful baskets. Eric is teaching a terrific workshop. Love the shot through the window.
