Mr. Basketmaker didn’t waste his time (like me) while being shuttered…

Can people be shuttered? Or just businesses. Either way, he has been majorly productive while sheltering here in middle Tennessee. Busy sketching, designing and creating all kinds of new baskets.

Following is a group of 15 new baskets waiting for rims (or parts) to be attached…

In the other room he has three more getting their uprights…

I’m really loving the shape of this new square one! I may have to sneak in one night and take it. I wonder what kind of handles he will be using on this one…

And finally he’s created some “wall” baskets that I’ve been asking for quite awhile now… So far he has three completed. Here’s two of them…

He must be all set for new submittals to conventions at least until 2025 I’d say! As soon as they are all named, I will start sharing and getting them on his website.

And regarding erictaylorbasketry.com, I’ve finally figured out all the broken links that happened after WordPress updated their platform—more on that later. But I have a whole bunch of new posts to upload and share over the next few weeks.

        1. Thank you Sue! Yeah, I went on a total social media blackout. Closed my Facebook, stayed off of Instagram, etc. – It was nice.
