-------- Northwest Basketry Handcrafted by Alice Harrison ----------------- Modern Symbols Of An Ancient People ---------

Click on each of the thumbnail pictures below to see larger views. You may have to scroll sideways as well as up and down to see them all. Although my ancestors were Cowlitz, I love making baskets with designs of many different Northwest Tribes. There are several pages going from the first baskets I made to the latest creations, so my newest baskets ( mostly imbricated ) can be found on the last pages. Also, where it says "post a comment," please, please, please leave me a message to let me know you were here. People have been asking if any of these are for sale. I sell one now and then on eBay, and give a few away to family. A few have been sent over to Lapwai, Idaho to be sold in the McConville family's wonderful Moccasin Flats Trading Post. If you are interested in a certain one, email me at alicety@aol.com,and I'll see what I can do for you. Thanks for visiting!

Alice,
You must have several tribes working for you. Nobody, no matter how talented, could turn
out all that many beautifully crafted baskets.
Norm.
