Little nantucket baskets

When I was in Indiana at a basket retreat in April, I took a small Nantucket pail with Joni-Dee Ross, a new teacher to me. I really enjoyed her class and learned a lot. I bought a kit and borrowed a mold to make two 5" Nantucket baskets; one with space-dyed cane and natural spokes, another with space-dyed cane and space-dyed spokes. I wanted to make one for mom for Mother's Day and one for myself. Mom's is on the top and it is the correct height, mine is on the bottom, a little shorter as I had a spoke break almost to the top. They utilize the wood rim glued on top. Looking forward to taking another class with her in the future.
