What I'm Working On Wednesdays - Woven Santa Boot, Basket Making, Basket Weaving


My Santa boot. I love my Stanta boot!
I really enjoyed weaving this. It is woven on a wooden elliptical base. The author of this pattern is Julie Deen and I was privileged to test the pattern for her. I know the pattern is for sale on her website, Deen Homestead Basketry, as well as through other basket weaving suppliers. I'm going to get some long candy canes and put them in my boot and set it by my front door! One more thing, I wish the photo showed it better, before weaving the red laces in, I sprayed the boot with gold glitter spray. It just sparkles in person!
What are you working on this week?
Blessings,
Nancy

    Hi Nancy, I'm working on a horsetail (plant) basket. The base is bulrushes and there will be willow stakes and then horsetail weavers. I hope to incorporate an antler into it, also. Wish me luck!
    Love,
    Nancy

    Oh my gosh! Adorable!!
    I stopped weaving when my youngest was born (he's 17 now) and I'm ready to get back into it.

    This boot will be on my list!
