You know those days where in your head you can see something inside and out and it looks totally great? Yeah that's not how today bent for me. What I saw in my head was nothing like what I could bend and twist to make it look like. Isn't that how life sometimes goes though. I mean here I am writing this, staring with evil stink eyes at this little poor basket whose only crime is that it was born into my hands and I failed at making it into something beautiful and perfect...In any case I've uploaded photos of the before and after, mind you I love and have become obsessed with making these bowls and baskets, but it gets so frustrating to spend days on something and have them take a different path than how i thought they'd go. In any case if any of you crafters out there need some real sit down and craft stress relief projects, head over to home depot and grab a few reels of jute twine and some raffia from the local craft store and see what you can stitch to be!
Ok so it doesnt look horrid, it has texture, beautiful color and adding in the wood beads made it have some oomph, but I guess I thought it would be bigger and no matter how hard I tried, it stayed small..sigh
The center isnt finished yet, i have to stitch in the end piece and tighten some of the loops but she's pretty much done and not too shabby..
