This basket is woven of the butterscotch wicker over dark brown spokes.  You can see the contrasting spokes in the picture and they do show up in the bottom center.  You can just see the center peeking out here over the front rim.  I like the contrast, but I also can do the matching butterscotch spokes.  The basket is approximately 1″ wide, 7/16″ deep with a tall handle that adds another 1″ and 1/16 inches, for an overall height of about 1 and 1/2″.  (26mm wide and 11mm deep, with a 27mm handle for 38mm high overall)

The bowl of this basket is a really good size for display.  I think the handle is a bit too tall, so I will try another one with a shorter handle.  Now that I really look at it… it may be just perfect for a house plant, or anything with a bit of height.

This is a small, walnut brown basket with a tall handle for showing off the contents.  It is approximately 5/8″ wide with a 5/16″ tall bowl and about 1″ tall overall, to the top of the handle.  (17mm wide by 8mm deep and 25mm tall overall)

In this picture the basket is full of some polymer clay grapes that I made in a recent class.  I love it!  <squeal>  Even though it is a fairly small basket, I made use of the new double handle and I think it makes a nice, sturdy looking basket.

This is the first of several tall storage baskets that will have a home in my Medieval castle.  It is woven in the traditional looking walnut brown wicker, which I love.  They will look terrific filled with assorted fruits and vegetables.  I think it would also look great storing anything tall and vertical.  With a lid, and maybe a bit of decorative weave in the body, it is a laundry hamper!  Going to have to play around with the lid idea, as I suspect that is also proper for a storage basket.

This storage basket is approximately 1and 5/8″ wide and 2 and 1/16″ tall.  (42mm wide and 52mm tall)  So for one inch scale, this would be about 20″ wide and just over 2 feet (25″) tall in “real life.”  Perfect next to a 3′ counter or market stall!

Okay, how much do I love my peas ‘n’ carrots???  A lot!

This is my second, smaller gathering basket done in walnut brown.  This, like the larger one, has the variegated braid trim and the double spoke handle.  Does the handle seem over-sized here?  Actually looking at the basket, it looks fine, so maybe it’s just the picture?  Maybe it’s the mini veggies that make the handle seem to big?  Hmmm…  This calls for some investigation.

This smaller version is approximately 1 and 3/8″ long, 1 and 1/16″ wide, and 1 and 1/8″ tall.  (34mm long, 27mm wide, and 29mm tall)  Again, due to the open base, this basket can safely be molded a bit to suit your taste.

I really like how this gathering basket turned out.  I wove it in the walnut brown “wicker” over a dark brown armature.  This handle has the double-side (two spoke) handle and I really like the sturdy proportion.  I tried a little something different with the braided trim edge, in that it is woven with a mottled thread that has light and dark areas… interesting or distracting? Hmmm…

This is the larger of the two similar gathering baskets that I made.  I envision this one displaying fresh cut flowers, loaves of crusty bread, or vegetables fresh from the garden or market (see the picture of the smaller one!)  This basket is approximately 1 and 5/8″ long, 1 and 3/16″ wide, and 1 and 1/8″ tall.  (41mm long, 30mm wide, and 29mm tall)  Truthfully, the base is flexible on this style so you can “pinch” it to be a bit thinner and taller or “smoosh” it to be wider and shorter.  Whatever looks best in your opinion.

This walnut brown basket with handle is larger than other handled baskets I have made.  I wanted to be able to display market items in it, like the gourds shown here.  I think it would also show off a picnic lunch rather nicely.

It is 1 and 3/8″ wide, with 1/2″ tall sides. The handle adds another 1″ to the overall height.  (35mm wide, with a height of 13mm sides plus a 24mm handle)  So, in a 1″ scale scene, it would represent a 15″ wide basket with 6″ sides, and would be 18″ inches tall including the handle.  A good sized market basket!

I think that next time I will add a double-wide handle, as this one seems a bit delicate for the size of the base.

This is a walnut brown round basket with a handle. The basket is about 1 1/8″ wide and 5/8″ tall. The handle is an additional 3/4″ tall, so overall it’s about 1 3/8″ tall. (23 mm wide by 16 mm deep, with a 20mm tall handle)

This is a very versatile basket that can be used for food, sewing notions, or any gift basket assortment. I think it would look terrific with a bow on the handle!

I think this is a nice basic basket and I was pleased with it overall. The handle is a little tricky for me still and I continue to practice, practice, practice!

This is an oval market basket woven in natural wicker. I made a heavier handle on this basket, making use of two spokes. It is 1 1/4″ long, 3/4″ wide, and about 1/2″ deep, with an additional 3/8″ handle. (33mm long, 20mm wide, and 12mm to rim, plus 10mm high handle)

Yikes! As I measure this basket for the post, I see that the depth has more of a “range” than I’d like to see. Truthfully, it has a depth of 10 to 12 mm, depending on where I measure. From a distance I can’t really tell, but the ruler doesn’t lie (sigh!) I am determined to make a better one right away!

This was intended to be a small market basket in 1″ scale, but seems suited to an 1/2″ scale bassinet as well. I definitely will try a similar pattern to make 1″ scale bassinet, once I figure out the hood. This one will probably end up full of flowers or bread.
