Baskets in the Balance
A low craft-fair stall holds an exaggerated stack of handmade baskets beneath a scalloped canopy, illustrated with felt shapes and broad marker lines.

Finished editorial illustration, 9:16 vertical. One squat open-front craft-fair stall, viewed slightly from above, occupies the lower-left portion of a warm cream background. Its broad coral scalloped canopy shelters a low indigo counter. The clear focal point is an absurdly tall stack of four nesting handmade baskets: oversized rounded bodies, broad loop handles, progressively neater alignment toward the base, with the top basket tilted precariously. Depict baskets using simple ochre felt silhouettes and two or three broad contrasting bands, not intricate weaving. Layered felt-cutout construction, subtly soft edges, loose hand-drawn marker contours and broad uneven marker fills. Playful asymmetric proportions, restrained coral, ochre and indigo palette. Minimal grounding shadow, generous empty space above and to the right. One stall, one moment; no people, crowds or extra scenery. No text, logos or watermarks.
