It's October. I've gotten down the autumn decorations from the garage and pulled out a few seasonal baskets like this one I wove years ago. This Jack 0 Lantern is the perfect size to hold candy for the trick-or-treaters. Once Halloween is over I can turn the basket around and put the face towards the wall and it becomes a plain pumpkin basket to take me through Thanksgiving. The weaving is 1/4" flat oval dyed pumpkin (a Rit color no longer available). The eyes and nose is 1/4" flat dyed cocoa and the mouth is #3 round reed. The eyes, nose and mouth are all overlays woven into the basket once its body was completed. Enjoy!Have a Blessed Sunday.
