Iron basket

I wanted some height for a corner, so we designed this iron basket and filled it with moss and curly willow. And, because everyone always asks, yes...Mark made the base of the basket, too.

Mark wove the iron pieces of the basket and riveted them to the top ring.

So unique and well made and well arranged. I wouldn't expect less from the Dynamic Duo!

A great collaboration! And how nice it must be to say, this is what I want and presto, someone makes it for you.

Sort of like being the designer version of Bewitched!

Oh Charmaine I just LOVE this basket Mark made and you designed! It's FABULOUS! He should have those on the Etsy site because it is really grand. I love the curly willow in it too. Isn't curly willow so architectural in feel? Love it. Very very nice!
