A basket is a container which is traditionally constructed from stiff fibres, often made of willow. The top is either left open or the basket may be fitted with a lid. The plant life available in a region affects the choice of material, which in turn influences the weaving technique. Rattan and other members of the Arecaceae or palm tree family, the thin grasses of temperate regions, and broad-leaved tropical bromeliads each require a different method of twisting and braiding to be made into a basket. Although baskets were probably created to serve a utilitarian rather than an aesthetic purpose, the practice of basket making has evolved into an art. Artistic freedom allows basket makers a wide choice of colors, materials, sizes, patterns, and details. Archaeological sites in the Middle East show that weaving techniques were used to make mats and possibly also baskets, circa 8 000 BC. Baskets made with interwoven techniques were common at 3 000 BC. The carrying of a basket on the head, particularly by rural women, has long been practised. Representations of this in Ancient Greek art are called Canephorae. Overturned woven baskets are used drummed by the Tohono O'odham to accompany songs (Zepeda 1995, p. 89). From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Would hanging baskets of begonias and impatiens be good for an area that gets direct sunlight in morning? Q. This would be partial sun/partial shade, morning only direct light, hanging baskets from one of the big box stores. I don't know a lot about flowers and stuff so any information would be helpful.

Q. The beauty in my baskets is that they will all contain both store bought and hand made items. I'd like the ability to fill the demand without the additional overhead of huge inventory or tempory price increases. Asked by Susan - Tue Nov 17 16:24:54 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. On its face, this doesn't seem wrong to me. You need to ask yourself if you are deceiving customers in any way. For instance, if you run photos of specific products that would be included in the baskets and then deliver different products, you would be on thin ice. Short of that, though, it's not unusual for manufacturers or packagers to substitute parts of equal value. The metric is something of a gut check: Does it feel to you that you are sending customers something with less value than you promised? If the items are of equal quality, you're probably fine. One caveat: Be careful how you represent what your baskets contain. I'd highlight the handmade items and then offer enough flexibility in your wording and pictures to make sure… [cont.] Answered by Kevin Salwen, Small Business - Tue Nov 17 17:02:14 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Baskets"
