Bert Part 2

More about Bert; the basket maker.  He was also Bert; the potter, on Saltspring Island in the eighties. Behold… very cute cups.

And more about Bert; well, actually, about his brother. 

He was the subject so beautifully drawn in this careful step by step rendering of a basket in process.

(Apologies for wobbly iphone pics taken in dim light.)

…when I admired Bert's lace curtain valance, (purchased in The Netherlands),  he said "We couldn't remember how many meters wide our window was; so I just bought the whole bolt."

A man after my own heart.
