What started out as a plain brown wicker basket has now taken on a French-y vibe.
The basket was given a coat of off-white paint, then a second lighter gray color dry-brushed on just to catch the highlights.
Using a graphic from The Graphics Fairy (do you ever wonder just how many times this graphic has been downloaded?), I printed directed onto the fabric and then Mod-Podged
it into place.
Since there are stacks of baskets in the garage, I may just be coming down with an ailment called french-y basket fever.
Until next time, Honey

ReplyDeleteSounds like a good healthy ailment!!
ReplyDeleteYour basket looks lovely, Honey! I know what you mean - I see this image all over the place - even at the local antique marts!
ReplyDeleteThink of all the baskets one can pick up for next to nothing at yard sales. Oh the possibilities. Except I do not have a printer.

Honey your basket turned out beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to see you post something about a basket. Baskets have been around for centuries and don't get the attention they once did. I love what you have done and just look at all the uses.....great job,
ReplyDeleteChar
You dressed up your basket just beautifully! Love the look.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how a little "dressing" up makes so much difference. So cute!
ReplyDeleteHoney, I saw the silver pitcher image in your header when I stopped by before and knew in an instant my pitcher and yours were related. They look like identical twins to me! THanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment!
