This was my first "real" basket I ever made and it has flaws in every square inch. Still, it's special since I made it. :) Used for gathering eggs. It's 10" high and about 15" wide.

No class. Trish bought me this book:

[HYPERLINK@www.amazon.com]

and that's all I had. The book is actually great to give you brief basics and expects you to figure it out based on the limited info they give you, which helps you be creative.

I don't have any eggs to collect, but would love a basket like yours. It's so lovely and quirky!
Thanks for the book info.

Nice Dave!! Flaws are good. They say hand made, not machine made.

Great Forum!!!

Well poo! I have lots of eggs and NO basket!

I think it would be fun to learn this too. I had a friend years ago that grew her own makings. I think that would be just as fun as making the baskets!
