That's one nice colorful, symmetrical basket. Not easy, to be sure.

My family were basket makers for a couple of hundred years. We live in the North of England by the river Lune. I still have two baskets that my grandad made over 70 years ago. I'm so proud of my family heritage.

Greetings dear person, please take a moment to read this important message:

Falun Dafa (or Falun Gong) is a spiritual cultivation practice for mind and body that is widely spreading in the world, it is based on the principles of the Universe:

真 Truthfulness
善 Compassion
忍 Forbearance

It includes gentle exercises and meditation. It helped millions of people to regain health, peace of mind and obtain spiritual fulfillment. Since 1999 this peaceful practice has been brutally persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in China. People are being killed, tortured, put into labor camps and have organs harvested from live people, simply because of their belief. More than 100 million people around the world practice Falun Gong.

People ask how can they help; Just spreading awareness is a big help. Let your family and friends know about the persecution. Many people invest money in China without being aware what it is used for. Many products that are coming from China are made by prisoners in the most pitiable conditions.
