Jan your baskets and gourd painting are beautiful!
Pine needle baskets for trade of herb plants
Thank you Flowersthebest, but the gourds are beaded not painted. Go back up to where you see my hand and it explains the process.
You still do lovely work
Well, thank you for your kudo's. I appreciate them. My name stems from my beaded gourds. The African gourd took 2 1/2 years to complete but it keeps my mind occupied and focused. It also keeps me out of getting into too much trouble with overdoing in the garden. Heheh
thanks again
Jan
Cant wait to see how you make them I am not a real craft person much it does look interesting.
Are you still looking for herbs?
thanks

Oh Bre, I am so sorry, I can't take any more. I would love to have more but my poor wrists are killing me and I still have two baskets left to make. I am sorry but maybe we can do a trade of some sort later when my wrists have had a good rest. It's hard on the hands and fingers to make these baskets. Last year I made 20 some baskets but I had surgery on my right hand and I fell and broke my left wrist last fall. I think I may have to give it up entirely as artheritis is beginning to set in.
Thank you for the offer.

So sorry to hear about your wrists! I would def be interested later if you are feeling up to it - they are beautiful!
Thanks for the reply & hope you are feeling better soon!
