LorriMarie, your unique baskets are so lovely. I would love to see a future video on how you make these. Your creativity is amazing!❤️

[@robandlorrimarie2022]

i will probably do the basket video on my art channel connie...i hoping to start it this week....we shall see....the house is full of cement dust from the kitchen remodel...the big debut is saturday!

[@paupi22]

All nature, very beautiful Lorrie Marie. I think there will be a market for that. It's so you 😊😊😊

[@robandlorrimarie2022]

thank you paupi....now to have the courage to find a place to sell the yummy baskets paupi!!!

[@sandikalin636]

Wow, I would not be able to pick a favorite, I would want them all. Good thing I don’t live in Costa Rica, I’d be driving over now and grabbing them all up. I can’t wait to see a video on how you make them. But I totally understand why you’re waiting to do it. I feel the same way, until I can get into a good rhythm and can’t show or explain my process. But again WOW!!!!

[@robandlorrimarie2022]

thank you sandi....i have had so much fun with these....and now developing a new technique? so much fun....i am actually getting ready to teach a class....wowza...i am missing my teaching! thank you for checking in sandi!!!

[@papabear2515]

Stunning - each one! I can see putting a vase (for flowers, etc) inside the flat bottomed ones - with flowers and water - and then you’d have gorgeous bouquets inside gorgeous palm containers/baskets! I think the colors of various flowers and leaves would contrast with the palm basket hues in simply stunning ways! Wow! Thanks! Kathleen

[@robandlorrimarie2022]

hey there kathleen....great minds think a like...i finished a basket today that holds a flower pot....so much fun! now to sell those yummy baskets kathleen!

thank you ishka....i am getting a bit more brave with the baskets...how fun!!!!

[@LauraMe...]

I missed this earlier 😮 just gorgeous! I love the more decorative flat bottom style. Sounds like you need to mass create some pieces. Please make sure you are signing these... not only for you, but right now in the buying market everyone wants signed items. Then off to a touristy area to hopefully find a seller. And maybe someone local! I like the pockets too, but the arty ones seem to have more lmj flair. ❤❤❤😊

[@robandlorrimarie2022]

thank you precious laura! oh to find a market for the baskets! i need an agent...lol! i love the flat bottom ones too...that is a technique i have been working on....one palm at a time!

[@Jeannette.akaJnett]

Fabulous baskets. Love the one that's like a sculpture. I'd use the hanging one to pop paper etc until it's taken care of and it would keep it off the flat surfaces. Will enjoy watching you show us the technique but not sure where I'd get the palm leaves. I'm thinking they might not be so readily available in Michigan. Though we do have smaller ones around Palm Sunday at church. I've made a couple of those into a cross. Love learning something new. Hope you find an outlet to be able to sell some though I'm sure it might be hard to part with some as well. Until next week I'll sign off as the two of you AC. Blessings my friend.

[@robandlorrimarie2022]

i will gladly part with some of the baskets jeannette...we are being overrun with them....lol! and yes...i think the palms might be hard to come by in michigan! thank you for the never ending support jeannette!!!

[@margaretpinsent6388]

Lovely baskets! I'm fascinated to see the palms before you make them into baskets too. I can imagine they might sell in an artisan beach shop? Or would it be difficult to take them back to some countries... ie tourists taking them home. Altho, I would imagine they'd be useful to residents too. Mxx

[@robandlorrimarie2022]

the locals are not so interested in the basket owndership...the ex-pats are another thing...i am getting ready to teach a class..maybe...i think...lol...

Omigoddess! These are so beautiful and so YOU! I love how rustic they are. Some of those appear like pitchers...is that a possibility? Could they be "varnished" in a way that would be food grade? I can see these selling in a market easily. We all have something something that would be cool to have in a LMJ basket! You are so talented and I look forward to watching the technique too.

[@LynneWilliams101]

These are stunning, LorriMarie. To think think that you have all of the amazing materials right outside is pretty cool. What are you sewing them with? It would need to be fairly strong so wondering if carpet or bookbinding threads. Look forward to seeing more. Thank you so much!!

Hi LorriMarie..... My goodness your baskets are out of this world beautiful!! They just get better and better and more beautiful! I wish there was a way to get them to the states to sell. Is there a place near you like a farmers market where you could sell them ? Or a cafe or restaurant perhaps? I'm sure you've already thought of these things. If you are like me... it might be difficult to part with them! :) See you on the table!

They are gorgeous and very artistic. I love how you keep the actual end shape of the leaves to dictate the design.. Do you varnish them after or are they just naturally dried? I’m sure there would be a market for them. They are very unique xx
