Shadowscape Baskets 5 and up: The later baskets include wooden bowls given to me, as well as fiber related wooden objects around which the baskets are designed. The spinning wheel part in #5 turns beautifully and the old ribbon making device becomes the handle for the lid in #6. There is a deliberate quirkiness with the included moving parts and in the wedding of disparate objects and materials.

Coiled basket: Maria's wooden bowl, Norma's spinning wheel, Nate's grosgrain ribbon, linen, silk
