Woven "baskets"

I'd like to introduce you to what I've been working on recently...
 ...pottery bowls with basket tops.

 I've had quite a bit of fun experimenting with these.

 So far, I've tried crochet, 

 jewellery wire with wool, 


 knotted jute, (and the jute rope in the first picture).

 I have one little one left that I'm saving for cattail fiber, once the season arrives.

 And then a couple that are "just" pottery...


So now I'm curious.  
Should I make some blank basket bowls so that other people can play and experiment too? 
Is there any interest out there, I have to wonder?  
Feel free to leave me some comments on this one, either way.  I would greatly appreciate it.

    1. Excellent. I'll be making some in the next couple of weeks in between items I need to replenish for shows. They should be ready in about 6 weeks to 2 months. I'll keep you posted.

  5. They look great! I love the different textures and I like the idea of a 'blank canvas' for other people to experiment.

  6. Oh, what a great idea! I think you can actually make DIY kits - a blank basket bowl, the materials and the tutorial how to "personalize" it!
