Q&A with the ArtistTell us how your work is made.Each basket is unique. Most baskets are made using an 85 year old antique Singer 107 G 103 industrial machine in a small corner of my kids playroom. I use three different sizes of rope and all kinds of other materials like ribbon, bias tape, fabric and really anything I can wrap around the rope and sew through. I love neon thread colors and rainbows. |
