Random
weave is so much fun! Make a great wall pocket for a plant, or a
handled basket, or use your imagination to make your own shape. These
baskets are fabulous accents in the garden or on a porch, and function
beautifully as planters. Lovely bamboo-like pullet vine is novel and
wonderful to handle! Some people weave more than one basket in this
class.

Here is a beautiful heart necklace that is both easy to learn and
