We featured her own little burnished bowls early last year, but she also does interesting things with the ol&#8217; trinket box or &#8216;canister pot&#8217; as she labels it. I liked this particular image because you can see how a few simple canes can be combined to make intricate compositions on a container rather than just covering it all. The fact that is was built up in layers of forms and texture adds to the complexity and causes you to spend a bit of time examining all the little details she added to this in such a caring and careful manner.<\/p>\n<p>To see more of these containers of hers and for a nice array of other cane built plates and\u00a0bowls and things, visit her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/KateTractonDesigns\" target=\"_blank\">Etsy shop<\/a>\u00a0as well as her <a href=\"http:\/\/kate-tracton-designs.com\/gallery\" target=\"_blank\">nicely done gallery on her website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 140%; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; color: black;\">Like this blog?
