All Things Baskets
People keep telling me how great Pinterest is for their business. I’m starting to utilize a business account I set up a month or so ago. I think the key is to work on it a little bit each day. I’ve noticed more traffic to my website and my IG account. You can tie all of your images back to your website or your e-commerce site. I’ll keep you posted.
As with most artists, I love to use many mediums to create. Basketry is my first love but I also love working with wool, fabric, cotton etc. I found these beautiful patterns for wall hangings, trivets or trivets… however you want to use them. These are created using good old fashioned square Looms. Not usually a vibrant color person but for these I’ll make an exception.
The weather up here in Upstate New York is finally moderating. Been adding some new items to my shop so check them out on my Etsy Site. But…. you can also purchase baskets right from this website. See the different sections in the drop down menu, Working on transferring more listings right here!!!
I get weekly requests to make this basket.Unfortunately, it is made of material and uses framework that I just don’t have It is very popular with home decorators on Instagram, and has been discontinued by Target for a year or so. It is, however, still highly sought after in that world.
Below is my version and needless to say my customers are loving it. It’s definitely a different basket, but it is inspired by the shape and size of this famous basket. I don’t do the tapered look because, well actually it’s just not practical design wise. But they don’t mind.
It will be back up in my Etsy shop when I get the current orders I have caught up. Hope you are having a fabulous week!!!
This new design is proving to be quite popular The combination of the beautiful leather handle and the whitewash finish is a customer favorite. It’s the longest leather hanger I currently make measuring around 15”.
The leather is sourced from a local shoe company. Scraps that would likely end up in the landfill are used to make these and other basket designs. Colors include Brown, Black, as seen below, Burgundy and Olive.
Hope you have a great day!!!
