Handmade Baskets: 28 Beautiful Baskets to Make for Your Home

This is one of my favorite basketry books with baskets from many different instructors. I recommend it to all of my basketry students. I purchased this one as I couldn't (gasp) find my copy and didn't want to be without one to show my students. Lyn Siler's first book is also excellent.

A beautiful book of Lyn Siler's designs and patterns. She is a true artist and does a wonderful job of displaying her talent inthese offerings. Great book for those interested in an almost lost art.

This is an excellent book on basket-weaving. The patterns are divided into five types: Early American; European Country; Southwest; Victorian; and Eclectic. The patterns and basket types provide great variety in styles, weaving techniques, and colors. A person who has had a few beginning basket lessons could use these patterns to learn, improve skills, and create beautiful baskets. The instructions are clear and logical.

Book was a gift for a basketmaker in the family and she was very happy with the content for her basket weaving projects in the future.

This book is a great basket book - good, clear instructions. In general, I would recommend Lyn Siler's "The Basket Book" as a better beginner's basket book. The projects in "Handmade Baskets" are a bit more advanced and unusual which for a non-beginner makes this a great addition to "The Basket Book".

Excellent book, in great condition, to add to my collection.
