10" Twill Weave Market basket - Walnut dyed

Twill Weave Market Basket

Dimensions: 10" x 13"
Hand carved handle

This basket took me about 5 hours to make (not including the dying of the material). It also sat outside partially finished because I was originally going to plait the weavers on the sides. I wanted to add a design. As I was doing the regular weave I found that it was very hard to add each row. There was too much of a gap. So I pulled it all out and decided to continue with the twill weave for the sides. It worked so much better.
This would be a really nice basket for going to a farmer's market. It would hold allot of vegetables.
