This basket was made for a gift exchange at the Southwest Florida Craft Guild this past weekend. Everyone was asked to bring a handmade gift of their specialty. The gift exchange is one of those choose a present or take a present from someone that has opened one. It gets to be very interesting, to say the least, as some pieces are passed around several times. I really enjoy doing some smaller pieces and trying to make each a study of different techniques. This time I was interested in accenting the base area, hence the twist. I also haven't done a lot with the heads of the pine needles, so I decided to include a bunch of those. I'll use these ideas in future baskets.
Size: 6 x 6 x 5
