Tiny basketry trees -  Pam Cunningham, Penobscot master basketmaker has recently made a few different sizes of small holiday basketry trees - some snow covered, most green.  These are the smallest size - the "tiny" ones - at 1.75" high, 1.25" in diameter.     -----  Choose your garland colors when you "check out" ... by "asking seller a question" or "contact seller" and send me your choice ....   or Light Blue/Natural  or  Yellow/Natural.     ORANGE/YELLOW HAS BEEN SOLD!!!  

It has been at least 10 years since I have offered Pam's holiday trees.  They were customer favorites at that time and I am so pleased to have some to offer now.  

This, the "tiny" tree size, is only 1.75" high and 1.25" at bottom diameter.  The branches are made of "porcupine" or "point" ash splint curls... and there are 66 of these tiny little curls on this tree...  The branches (point curls) get smaller from bottom to top of tree.  -  Very difficult to do (the smaller the basket, the more difficult it is to make these curls... to make the basket itself!)  ..... Pam adds 2 thin splints that spiral around the tree- in 2 different colors making a perfect garlands.  The bottom rim of this holiday basket tree is of plain tidal sweetgrass.  Pam adds a signed splint to the inside.  "Pam C - 2022" and here has added her maker's mark - a sweetfern unfurling into a turtle. 

Made of brown ash, the traditional material of Maine and Eastern Canadian basketmakers, this has plain tidal sweetgrass wrapping the rim of the basket bottom.  Here the ash is dyed evergreen green ... and splints are dyed various colors or left natural light color wood.  

There are more of Pam's beloved basket styles in this ebay store,  Check to see if there are still  different corn varieties,  pinecones, blueberries, pineapples, strawberries, prayer baskets, sewing baskets, and more...
