After many years of working in the retail business I am now on my second career. That of a basket maker! What was a hobby has now turned into a full time job but above all I am now able to follow my passion for Basketry.
Being totally self taught there is no right or wrong. The freedom to create, to follow your heart is fantastic. Also it is such a joy to share my passion for basket's thru teaching others and giving demonstrations. Just recently I gave a demonstration at the Artisans Center in Berea, Ky. There I met so many wonder people from all over to world. It is an honor that they carry my baskets.
All of my Baskets are one of a kind. For my pine needle baskets (my true love) I use gourds as a base. Then I apply the pine needle coils to the top of the gourd and add just about anything! My favorite embellishment's are Black Walnut Slices and White Tail Deer Antlers.
E-mail me at lhorine@insightbb.com for prices & any questions you may have. Commision work accepted.
