Basketeers
Basketeers will meet Monday, August 7th from 1pm-4pm.
Please join us. Everyone is welcome!
We had to make a pivot on our project. This Monday we will be making darling
Seagrass Baskets with a Saw Tooth border, while we regroup.
We will be deciding on August 7th which project we will be doing for our
meeting dates August 21st & September 4th.
Our original plan was to make this really cool spiral basket,
but have run into supply chain & cost issues. The materials will be approximately $30.
We need to have commitment in advance to know how many handles to order.
Just the handles will be approximately $18.00.
Judy has an alternate suggestion for you to consider for the August/September Basket.
This basket needs just 3 rings, round reed and materials we mostly have available in our stash.
Check out the attached photo of the Rings for Market Basket.
Or do we look further for other suggestions. So much to decide

Just for fun: I found another interesting and talented northwest felt artist, Fiona Duthie, who lives near Vancouver, British Columbia. She provides for her family by teaching (both online and in-person) and by selling her art. She works with wool, mainly felting. She uses a newer technique where wool is mixed with paper to make an interesting felt. Her website is Check her out. Here is a link to some of her felted paper technique.items/resilience/
