WILLOW - BASKETS
There is nothing quite like holding a willow basket in your hands - to feel the heft, to smell the willow and to dream of uses for it. Many of you have asked about my baskets, so I'm using this page to show some of the my work so that you can see a little of the variety of baskets that I weave. Prices and inventory vary and I prefer for customers to shop at my Decorah studio or at one of the clases that Lindy and I teach. I'm happy to make arrangements for you to visit if you are in the area.

This basket is a great size for taking to the Farmer's Market or for bring produce back from the garden (or for holding magazines by your favorite chair). It is strong and very functional. It's woven using a variety of techniques and has a sturdy woven handle.

 Willow Bowl -SOLD

This basket has some fancy zig-zag weaves and a more distinct border. I used some colorful willow to make it a bit more interesting. Useful to hold many things.

I just love the shape of this basket. It's a handsome basket that could serve many uses or would look good 'as is' on a porch or by a fireplace. Three sets of randing weave fill the tall sides.
Colorful Half Bushel Basket - SOLD

This is a most colorful and complex basket with a familiar shape. Three types of willow make interesting patterns on the base and up the sides. Beauty and function both.
