How about a cute little purple jewelry hanger!!!

Or maybe a spot for your keys...

Teeny teeny teeny basket…

And here we have the inspiration photo…

And here is what I drew…

Better by far than anything I did with ink. So far anyway. This is done with graphite pencil and carbon pencil. 

I like this kind of shading, although I do read mixed opinions about it. Some say it ruins the paper, some say it smashes the graphite and makes it muddy, I think that I like it anyway.

All done with this one.

For some reason this one really speaks to me.  

I think it is how it goes from a square start to a round finish.  I really liked the last one I did with a square Hickory slice!

On to the next one.

I finished the 'lil blue basket!

And I am very happy with it!

And then started another...this one has Hickory for the center (the other one has a Live Oak center) and I am using silver and dark brown threads!  

Personally I don't love the silver thread, not enough contrast to see my pretty and neat stitches! I worked hard to learn them.  (I couldn't hem a pair of pants if I had to.  Lol )

But often I am not in love with a piece until it is completed.  We'll see.

Tore up too bracelets I started too.  Just couldn't get it to look right. ;-(.

But I refuse to give up on it!  So stay tuned.

Eenie, meanie, minie mo!

Which wood to use next.

And a closer look.

I love the organic sapes and color!
