Combining painting with basketry, these versatile storage/tray baskets celebrates love... times two.
These long low baskets feature a hand painted base. The single large heart design has been divided between the two baskets, with each basket sharing a half. The two were created together and and are sold as a set. The solid red heart sits against a white background. The artwork has been protected with a layer of clear coat.
The baskets each measure 15.5 inches long by 5.5 inches wide. Each sits 3.25 inches high. The base is wood. I make two sizes in this particular style. This is the larger size.
The baskets' colors are red, black and gold, with the hint of metallic gold glitter. Each basket was hand coiled with the same fabrics.
This is a great size for bread, muffins or rolls at the table, but would work for any tray-type storage or display needs. This size is also perfect for the bath. It perfectly fits on the back of most toilet tanks and is great for holding personal toiletries.
And, what a thoughtful gift this would make! Fill each with your own choices of toiletries, perfumes or soaps as a wonderfully affectionate offering.
My baskets are made by the coiling method of basketry. Strips of fabric (both new and recycled) are wrapped around an inner cording as the shape is formed. The inner cording makes these baskets sturdier than other fabric, crocheted or felted items. Each one is entirely handmade with no machine stitching.
Each one is unique.
