i’ve always enjoyed trying out unusual materials for my fibre and textile art
crochet is no exception – this little basket is made from string
metal washers appear regularly in my work
they make the basket just slightly subversive!

This piece is utterly beautiful! I love how the circular patterns you wove on the inside base is repeated again in the use of the metal washers. Very nice!
