Exchange Basket Received: Pamela Caskey to Leigh Adams


This great basket was made by Pam Caskey and received by Leigh Adams. Here's what Leigh had to say about it:

Pamela sent me a luscious smelling basket that is a veritable wonderland of dancing stitches, jubilant color and joyful design. Centered on a lovely agate are ripples of closed coil and natural pineneedles flowing upward into lace captured walnut slices and glowing with radiant color! The stitching is firm and well spaced, creating a firm and sturdy basket. The sides move upwards with different colors of waxed nylon in a feather stitch and with
additional closed coils of pine. The uppermost section of the basket is created with fragrant sweet grass and a very clever use of walnut slices as handles integrated into the basket. The overall piece is pleasing and colorful and will be a most lovely addition to my collection.

Thank you Pam Caskey!


Another great basket! What a wonderful exchange we are having!

I am glad you liked it Leigh, I really had fun doing it. Each one I go gets a little better than the one before. I love coiling and just do not know what I did in life before coiling.

Also like the "dancing stitches" that Leigh described.

I'm enjoying viewing the baskets from this exchange. PZ, thanks for posting them here!
