These terra cotta basket starts are handcrafted by Blythe and fired to cone 04. Each healing hand in the center of the start is glazed with a lovely blue (your choice Delft/Cobalt blue or lighter blue), the rest of each piece remains unglazed. Your start comes to you ready to finish into your sweetgrass, pine needle, or other type of basket.
Holes for sinew or other binding easily accommodate an embroidery needle, but are small enough not to lose most items that a basket would hold. Dark Blue Start measures approximately 3.5” x 2.75” (approximately ⅜” thick). Light Blue Start measures approximately 3.5” x 2.75” (approximately ⅜” thick). As with all internet photos, the actual colors of this piece may not match exactly what pops up on your screen. Price listed is per start. Choose your color.
Your start will come boxed and bound to keep it safe during shipping (as shown). The tie is made from new pillow-binding, approximately 40” in length, from which you can create something fun -- perhaps a dream pillow, or medicine doll. Coming boxed also allows for gifting to others if you so wish.
The basket (also shown) is an example of one of my starts (different style) in a finished sweet grass basket. This item is not for sale and is shown simply as an example of a finished basket.
