WOOL STEAMER BASKET

I had no idea what a steamer basket is and now I know.  This one will never be used on a wok.  What a great idea to add such a pretty decorative wool piece to the lid.  No, I didn't make it.  I am not that good at embellishment.  My friend, Karen made this.  The lid is dome shaped.  She added batting behind the wool circle, glued it all down, then added decorative trim around the edge.  She is using it for a sewing supply basket.  She is going to add a covered cardboard circle inside the basket as the basket bottom is woven slats.  That will keep anything from falling out....like a needle.

I thought you might enjoy seeing something different.  Karen was lucky enough to find the steamer basket at a thrift store.  She says they usually have three bottoms and only one lid.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit.
