Newest basket! Needed a wine basket for a gift and came up with this one. The finished product will have a nice sign on the front with a cute saying. Will post these when my sister, Rhonda makes them! Will make a great Christmas gift! Not on my website for sale as a kit yet but soon! The basket has a wood base with the handle attached. A couple photos of students weaving their Spiral Rope Bracelets at the Northwest Hoosier Basket Retreat.
Spent all day yesterday dyeing reed and making kits for my next teaching adventure. I will be teaching at The Association of Michigan Basketmakers in Grand Rapids Michigan on Oct. 19-23rd. Will be teaching the Fall Pot Belly and the Lots of Arrows.

| Fall Pot Belly |
The Lots of Arrows basket came about when teaching a couple years ago. The basket had one row of the 3 rod arrow in the beginning of the basket and again at the top. By the time everyone got to the top area, they forgot what they did. I decided to come up with a basket that would really reinforce the 3 rod arrow pattern. This basket has 7 rows of the 3 rod arrow, using 3 different colors of round reed. This makes it easier to catch a mistake right away. By the time you finish the basket, the 3 rod arrow will come natural!
The Fall Pot Belly is a great basket. This basket can be easily changed for the different seasons. Use green spokes and red weavers. Shape the basket more rounded and you have an Holiday ornament!
