Here's the first one. It's body is a wicker/cane basket i found in a thriftstore and because of the shape of it i knew i would have problems lining it with fabric so i decided to tear up strips of brown wrapping paper and glue that to it. Because of the different amount of layers i put on it, as you can see by the pics it's quite patchy as the light shines through but it gives it a rustic, kinda tapa-ish, look that i quite like. And here's the second one. I'm really happy with how this one looks lit up, considering i screwed up the fabric and had to do it again. Measure twice, cut once. I did measure twice but obviously wrong. :D More in the works still to come. Cheers swizzle
