Berry picking basket - red and white
This is a take on a cat head basket. Differences: it does not flair out at the sides and the bottom is not as curved.
I made this as a Christmas present.
Dimensions: 8" x 8" at the base. The weavers are chemically dyed (rit) red as is the handle. The base is natural, as is the sides.
Since I made this basket I was commissioned to make the following lined market basket.
