I am helping to host the next Duncan community potluck where we gather with our rural neighbours for a nice seasonal meal together. Happily I have got the job of organizing spring centrepieces.

I want to make small baskets in which I can nestle some spring flowers and pussy willows. Inside I plan to use wet green foam blocks in low cat food tins (ha ha- you know I have many of those).

So this week I made a prototype basket and have started bases for a series of baskets. I wanted to figure out how many sticks to put in the base and how many stakes to go around such a small sized basket. Next I will practise different weaves for each, so each basket will be a little different.
