Little Pumpkin Basket - Pam Outdusis Cunningham: Penobscot

Description: JUST IN - SO happy to have more of Pam's very popular and beloved little pumpkins to offer!!A symbol of fall - This charming little pumpkin basket is by Pam Cunningham, Penobscot master basketmaker. Pam's ancestors grew these for centuries as they are long storing and rich in the calories and vitamins so necessary for surviving long Maine winters. - These tiny beauties are to be used for decor. Pam's little pumpkins have such a bright intense orange they will light up any space - a splash of color before the long dark winter. *this one is slightly different than the photo - it has an orange dyed "inset" on inner lin instead of the natural one shown & was made in 2023, slightly more "refined than one in photo which was sold earlier) Pam's round little pumpkin basket has some curly green vines and leaves on the lid and a green "stem" handle. These pumpkins look like the pumpkin in Disney's Cinderella movie. ...... Pam has added curlicue curls to these pumpkins (in the past some of her pumpkins have not had any curls...) There are 80 perfect round curls on this little basket (the curls decrease in size from top to bottom of basket) This tiny round pumpkin basket by Pam is 1.5" to top of basket lid, stem handle adding another .75" to the height (2.25" high overall) and is 2" in diameter, with a 1.25" opening at lid - In the inner lid of the basket on an undyed added ash splint Pam has signed "Pam oudusis" and dated the basket there "2024" (outdusis is Pam's Penobscot name - it means "little pathway"Made of brown ash, the traditional material of Maine and Eastern Canadian basketmakers, this has plain tidal sweetgrass wrapping the rim of the basket and lid. The handle/stem of the pumpkin is a very thin splint wrapped with green dyed ash - the curly vines are curled thin ash splints and the leaves are cut from wider ash splints.Made of brown ash, the traditional material of Maine and Eastern Canadian basketmakers, this has plain tidal sweetgrass wrapping the rim of the basket and lid. This uses orange and green dyed ash.There are more of Pam's beloved basket styles in this ebay store, Check to see if there are still different corn varieties, more pinecones, blueberries, strawberries, prayer baskets, sewing baskets, spectacular sea urchin baskets.... Second to last photo is of Pam dancing at the 2019 Penobscot Nation Community Day Festival. Last photo is a pic of Pam's great-grandmother, ssipsis, selling her baskets about 1920. To make some of her basket forms Pam uses some of her ssipsis's basket making tools - gauges, crooked knives and wooden molds. Be sure to view some of Pam's other baskets in this ebay store.
