Item Special Note

Baskets have always fascinated me; I like the simplicity of the design, and that baskets are functional.  I am drawn to the fact that in a short amount of time I can complete a basket from start to finish. I create baskets that are both  traditional  and contemporary. I use reed for most of my baskets because it is readily available and also use vines and tree barks. During the twenty five years of basket weaving I have enjoyed making, teaching and learning through workshops to hone my skills.   I create both utilitarian baskets  and also baskets that are purely decorative.  I guess I am a basket case!
