Though I make many different styles and sizes of baskets, they are all formed by the construction of one of two types of bottom, round or square-rectangular.

A round bottom basket is formed by intersecting the framework strips like the spokes of a wheel. Eight over eight spokes woven together form a "double" bottom. The weaving continues up the sides to form a round basket.

A square or rectangular bottom basket has a plaited bottom, woven to the desired dimensions. From this base, sides are woven, either maintaining corners to form a square or rectangular basket or with curved sides woven to a round or oval at the rim.

I weave all of my baskets by hand eye without using molds or jigs. I like the individual character this process allows each basket to have.
