I could listen to the “quiet” of your nature all night! I miss the cicadas of my youth, and I thank you for sharing your “new” artistry with us! 🫶

[@lorrimarie2002]

lol...the cicadas will be back in full force after the rainy season user-cv4bi....for now we are being lulled to sleep by the rain...(or kept awake...lol)

These are definitely labor intensive. Thank you for your video! How fortunate to be able to acquire the materials around you. Your baskets are beautiful!

beautiful baskets. Since finding your art last week I have been binge watching everything I could find. Thank you for all your inspiration & creativity. It has helped me immensely through some tough times with grief & my own health issues. I absolutely love your slow stitching & baskets too. Wishing you all the best in Costa Rico, lots of fun & laughter

Your palm baskets are beautiful and looking at the start of the video bending the palm I thought that would be amazing for a rustic journal cover. Your long videos are the best. You and your husband are amazing artists. Thank you for sharing.

i think i am going to try the journal cover...i need to let that percolate a bit before going forward with a journal cover...and yep...keep nudging me saleana! .go create, go play, go have fun!!!

Gorgeous basket but unfortunately I live in UK so many items are unobtainable. Really miss the old video tutorials with the journals 😢

[@sandikalin636]

What a great video, love this little basket. Sure does strengthen your hand muscles doesn’t it? How many times have you poked yourself with the needle? I’d be a bloody mess. lol.

lol sandi....i have poked myself with the needle and the awl..countless times...and i am getting better at missing myself sandi! .go create, go play, go have fun!!!

Always love seeing your new creations,someone I saw somewhere made buttons out of avocado pits,they would look lovely on your baskets, I did think it has to be hard to sew do you still have the cropadile?

[@lorrimarie2002]

oh my gosh dawn....i am so going to create some avocado buttons! i love that...and i am pretty sure the awl will go through the avocado...i will keep you posted! woot woot....go create, go play, go have fun!!!

[@jaynewood6714]

I have made baskets in the past( another life it seems) it is hard on hands and one must have strong hands and fingers to do the hard labor. And then to get moisture back into your skin! Maybe you have a barrel of palm oil? Good luck on this endeavor…

[@lorrimarie2002]

i am not finding these palms drying at all jayne...but...i will be aware! as far as strong? you betcha...my left hand is as important as the right...they are truly working together to hold things in place and stitch! yep...the left hand needs to know what the right hand is doing!!! what kind of baskets did you play with jayne?

[@jaynewood6714]

@@lorrimarie2002 I made the traditional baskets from 1/4 inch reeds and some 1/2 inch with some twine mixed in. All shapes and sizes , some with handles some without. My neighbor and I made around a hundred 8 inch round ones as table prizes for a fundraiser. We both decided basket weaving would not be our permanent hobby!

How are your hands holding out, do you soak the material first?
