Helen's Daughters, Char, had a creative career before handbag making.
She was an accomplished
willow basketmaker, author and workshop leader.
In 1988 - yes it was a long time ago - she was honored to receive
a Wisconsin Arts Board - Art Fellowship Award.
Only five Wisconsin working artists were honor in 1988.
Oh, I miss those beautiful baskets. I still have a tiny one sitting on my dresser! :)
