Last fall I made the frame out of our grapevines, added the antler and couldn't find any good willow or birch to weave so I let it sit unfinished, all winter. I finally completed it Saturday, June 1st while I sat in the yard tending to the Saturday Market, and after a request for a donation to the John Day Hospice. I decided to take a photo so I could remember it. What I like about it is the weight and balance it has when picked up by the antler. There is such a wonderful feeling of accomplishment when ya hold up that finished project. I suppose it is like that for most creative accomplishments... like Aunt Bea and her handmade quilts, and the saddle maker down the street... how dare I put myself in their artistic company!

This is the basket I recently finished and donated to the Hospice Auction
