I love the style of your original photo & am happy to go along with whatever your artistic fingers care to fashion. Time is not a factor - just when the spirit moves you! A postal order will wing it's way to you when you are ready. Happy weaving, sincerley, Ann.

How big do you want your basket Skye? How long a handle do you both want?

As long as it suits the basket shape I'm happy to leave it to you. Many thanks, Ann.

Please let me know when you want the cash & I will send you a cheque including postage. They look so good that no doubt you've been inundated with orders so there is no hurry. Happy crafting, Ann.

Do you have a preference for buff (stripped) or brown (bark on) or a mix? I am soaking enough for 2 baskets so you can have first pick.

Like me with stained glass, the materials give you the design inspiration!! I look forward to recieving the new basket in due course. Perhaps you can take a photo for the Forum? as I'm sure other readers will be interested Back to top vanessa Joined: 24 Sep 2005 Posts: 1163 Location: Correze Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2008 8:39 pm    Post subject: There's an enormous basket adorning a roundabout near here ... it must be 6 feet tall, with an enormous handle ... and is full of flowers. It looks so gorgeous! Wish I knew where to start with basket weaving, as I'd make one myself for our garden.
