Folksy Friday - Traditional Craftsmanship.

It's Folksy Friday again and my chance to show off some of the fantastic work available on Folksy. This week I've continued my blog theme of Traditional Crafts, these items are truly handmade from some very talented Folksters:


The Coiled Basket from Scrap, Wrap, Coil is so unusual, it is just fabulous. The Handwoven Cushion from Sue Wright Handknits shows modern style in a tradional craft, Treecycle's Pot is just amazing and the Vase by Menear Ceramics is such beautiful colours. The handmade Glass Coasters from Gemmapops Shop are available in various colourways and would make a wonderful gift. Finally the hand crafted bangle from Handmade by Trudy speaks for itself with it's classic appeal. Please visit these shops if you have time, they are full of fantastic wares.
Would love your comments on what you think of this weeks choices!
