I can do it myself!

Today I made a wastebasket. My very first basket all by myself with out the safety net of having my teacher there to bail me out if I got into trouble. It is a pretty simple basket, but it is all mine--no pattern, no instructions. It is about 11.5 inches tall and 9 inches in diameter. It is finished except for the stain and that can't be done until it is totally dry.
