Black Locust Basket Illusion Series

Saving the best for last. Can’t wait to see the final product!

I like this one more than your last ones (not saying the others were bad)

Thanks. Only found this pattern the day before I started on this one. I didn't plan the patterns I've used, rather as I finished each one, started looking for the next.

While this pattern looks more complicated than the others, it's really only 3 shapes that are repeated with alternating colors. The only issue I had was getting in a zone coloring and accidently coloring one black that should have been red. A quick soaking with a cotton scrap and alcohol removed enough of the black that you can't tell after the red was applied.

Although I really like the "bear claw" pattern, this one appears much more complex and is my favorite too.

Preview of the sixth and final one in this little series. I'll be doing more little forms this size, and probably more Dat So La Lee design adaptations, but this is the last of the ones I have turned.

Every one just amazes and stuns me.

Finished the design and started all the lines. Trying to keep them very faint.

Amazing work

Fantastic, again, and the shape is so pleasing to the eye. Now, combine this with the salad bowl for 24, and think about how crazy that would be. You’re welc.

This whole series would fit comfortably inside that salad bowl with room for a few more!

Beautiful work and what a talent you have. If I tried it, I’m afraid I would be sitting in the corner, drooling on myself, vibrating my lips with my forefinger, and mumbling “daaa, which way did day go?”

Your work is very impressive.

Thanks Webb. I've been there and almost done that on some of the bigger bowls I've done. Nice thing about these little forms is they only take about 2 weeks +/- if I spend a little time on them each night.

I don't spend hours on them at a time, rather only about an hour each night. I work on them late when the house is quiet and put in sound cancelling ear buds with some classic rock. I've found it's a good way to relax and shut down the mind at the end of the day.
