I don't have any people around me who are at all interested in my baskets, so thought I might see what the crafters and others here think.
I've woven primarily with reed, but recently decided to try something completely different and weave miniatures with waxed linen. The first I made was the blue one, and I didn't have a clue how it would handle. Second was natural, and I was experimenting with shaping and control. Third was the wasp-waisted green where I was experimenting with color control. And the orange was the last waxed linen I made -- to experiment with everything and be "seasonal". lol! That's a quarter in the photo, btw.

wow! Those are really nice. I like the seasonal one the most. I can really tell that you've gained control of the medium. I can see the progression from your 1st one to the final one. Even though they are small I would imagine they take a fair amount of time to make. Glad you included the quarter so we could see how small they are...
Nice work!

Thank you both for the reply. Yes, hapygdnr, they take a LONG time to make. Even my family shakes their head and tells me they have better things to do with their time.
I like the orange one best too. Though the green one is a close second. I doubt if I'd feel the same in spring.
Making baskets is a lot like gardening. I want to show people who just aren't interested in that kind of thing.
