This is a round, walnut brown basket with no handle.  It is approximately 3/4″ wide and 5/16″ deep. (19mm wide and 8mm deep)

Here I placed a vintage porcelain earing into the basket to simulate a flower arrangement.  I’m definitely going to work on some colorful flowers for display here.  This is also a great basket for the table, perhaps full of dinner rolls or fruit.  As a storage basket, it could hold sewing notions or other odds and ends.  The nice open top would show off whatever contents you provide!

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.

Here is one of the black wicker baskets I have completed.  It is tough to get a good picture of the weave on this dark color.  I like this basket as a serving or a storage basket.  The black color is great for offsetting the colorful contents, so maybe a basket of tortilla chips or shiny red apples?  It’s a good size for a colorful plant.  I think that the black is a more modern look compared to the more traditional browns.  Naturally,  it would look terrific in a Halloween setting!

This square basket is approximately 7/8″ wide and 9/16″ tall.  (22mm wide and 14mm tall)  It’s small enough to be a tabletop basket in one inch scale and a large storage or planter in half scale.

This small, round fruit basket was woven in natural wicker. It is 3/4″ wide and 7/16″ high. The handle is 1/2″ tall, making the basket about 1″ tall overall. (20mm wide and 11mm high, plus 14mm tall handle)

As usual, the trim braid and handle gave me a bit of trouble, but I still like this little basket. I think the light color sets off the contents nicely (in this case small styrofoam balls colored to look like lemons and oranges.) I have since worked out a thinner braid to trim the small baskets, and I will try that on the next version of this basket.

I think this basket would make a sweet little Easter basket as well, and I will try it in a pastel color someday… The list of baskets I want to make grows longer!

This round basket is done in natural wicker and measures about 1/2″ wide and tall. (12mm wide and 11mm tall)

This is really a wicker cup, intended to hold lollipops in my daughter’s 1″ scale bakery. It could also hold a small potted plant, a jelly jar, tapered candles, or pens and pencils. In fact, I think it would make a great desk set, along with a blotter and a business card holder (could I weave a stapler???) This basket could definitely be in a 1/2″ scale scene, and is the only one I have made so far that I think could be in 1/4″ scene (as a bushel basket?) I will be posting a taller version that makes a nice flower vase as well.

This tiny round basket and lid are woven in butterscotch linen thread over walnut brown spokes. The base is 5/8″ wide and 5/16″ high. (16mm wide and 10mm high) The lid is simply a wider, shallower version at 3/4″ wide and 1/4″ high. (19mm wide and 6mm high)

I intended this to be a keep-sake basket for 1″ scale miniatures, but the base could easily be a 1/2″ scale miniature. I think with some teeny handles it would look just right. I like this basket and was proud of the tight weave. The lid was a bit of a tight fit, and I finally had to force myself to just stop messing with it!
