Pile O' Baskets

Finished weaving another 10” Appalachian-style ribbed egg/butt/buttocks/gizzard basket. It’s looking a bit pale in comparison to the other samples. I’m trying to decide how I want to stain/dye it.

I'm trying to get a number of sample baskets woven to take to my class at the John C. Campbell Folk School at the end of the month. I want the students to see how you can take the same set of hoops and make different looking baskets with just a few changes in: rib size (this baskets uses a combination of #6 round and 1/4" oval oval); rib count; ear style; color accents; stain color; etc.
