Share a Basket Sunday
This is another of my favorite "ribbon baskets" where I take one row of weaving out and replace it with a ribbon. The handle is a stake from reed and wrapped to give it extra strength. Have a blessed Sunday. Love, Nancy
Is this a Williamsburg basket? How pretty! If you don't mind, I think I'm going to borrow your idea here and substitute organza fabric for one of the weavers on my next basket. :) With the pretty bow and the shape of the Williamsburg basket, it kind of reminds me of the bonnets that the women used to wear in colonial Williamsburg. This is really a nice aesthetic for this type of basket!
Technically it's not a Williamsburg, although it does sort of have that flaired shape to the base. The handle is made from reed and it is just one of the spokes of the reed that is longer and overlaps itself and back into the base. Glad you like it!
