Another Pedestal Basket

[Richard Madden]

In the book "Tradition and Innovation" there were two pedestal baskets shown, both by Lucy Telles. This is my attempt to copy the second (the first was posted last month). I deviated from the actual size which is 9-1/2 x 5-5/8. Mine is around 11 x 6. I scanned the page I had to work from. I didn't copy everything exactly, as you can see, but hopefully close. C & C always welcomed.

Beautiful work and incredible detail. What type of coloring do you use such that it doesn't bleed into the surrounding areas? Looks like many hours of painstaking work!

Dick,
I use Copic Original Dye Markers. Check out Jim Adkins tutorial here in the Articles section at the top of this page. I follow the directions just as Jim describes. Thanks for the comment.

I'd bet Lucy Telles would be honoured by the copy and the attention to detail. Fantastic piece.
