Easter swap

Here are some pictures of our dollhouseclubs easter swap.

I made pots filled with daffodils ( I made the pots also) and Mignon chocolate eggs. Mirel was the hostess so I wickered for her a basket and made some chocolate eggs of Fimo.

The Mignon chocolate egg is an Easter confectionery made by the Fazer company. Its distinctive features are a filling of almond-hazelnut nougat inside a real eggshell. The Mignon is the second oldest Fazer product, dating back from 1896, when Karl Fazer brought the recipe from Germany. Enduringly popular as parts of Finnish Easter celebrations with ca. two million eggs sold per year, Mignon eggs are handmade at the Fazer factory in Vantaa. (Quote Wikipedia)

Wickered white shopping basket

This is something I made during last weekend while watching television. I use very thin wire and very thin paper thread. It takes me 4-5 hours to wicker one shopping basket. If you want to use thicker thread, then you can make the baskets more faster but not so realistic looking. I prefer the realistic ones, so I want to use the thinnest tread possible.

All kind of baskets

I started my dollhouse hobby with wickering. I find wickering very relaxing and I really enjoy making the baskets. I got little bit carried away with it and now I have quite many baskets.
