Human Labor

Have not been feeling well for several days.
Had to use photos from my archives.

Working at making things.

Putting a new school together.

Where the work really happens in the local diner.

 Teaching and learning basket making at the Adult Learning Center.

Working to make your home team the best.

Mosaic Monday- Basket Making

Mosaic Monday with

Mary

One of the best things I learned to do last year and will continue this year, is basket weaving.

Here is a mosaic of the baskets I have made so far.
From left to right and down right to left.

1) Pineapple
(Made four)
This picture was taken before spraying with homemade walnut spray.
Finished it was the same color as #3


2) Spring Basket
(Made 1)


3) Welcome Home 
(Made 2)


4) Rectangle with handles
(Made 2)

The first basket I made was the Rectangle with handles. 
It was hard, bruising my knuckles and and painful to my hand joints.
I was very tensed when making that first one.
After that I became more relaxed and the rest were not so hard.
I find it a very relaxing activity.
