Apple tubes came from
Karens Tubes
(I can't believe I didn't have any ! *G*)
Leaves came from a graphic pic I had..I cut them out and
pasted them on the apples.

Just a small note here...I hardly ever name my Layers unless I have a bunch of them.
If you want to name your layers..you can. *S*

Open a new image...500x500...transparent background.

Set your foreground color to a light brown color..I used #A88C61

Select the Preset Shapes tool...Rounded Rectangle
Filled....antialias checked.

In the lower half of the image..draw a large rectangle shape.
Next...click the Deformation tool...this will put a box around
your rectangle with smaller boxes around it. Now hold your Ctrl key down
and click on one of the bottom corner boxes...drag it in toward the opposite side.
If you need to make the top wider you can hold the Ctrl key down while
dragging one of the boxes at the top..out to the right or left. When done...
double click on your rectangle and click Yes..to apply.
It should look something like the one below. 

Now go to Selections...select all...then click in the center somewhere...
this will select just your drawing for you.
Now ...keep it selected...add a new layer and flood fill the selection with black.
De-select it.
Now go to your Layers drop down box and click on Layer 2..hold your
mouse button down and drag Layer 2 down below Layer 1.

Now click on Layer 1 to make it active.

Select your Lasso tool...point to point..antialias checked.
Feather = 0

Making the slats in the basket.
Now start at the top of left your basket and click to set it..go down at an slight angle.
When you get to the bottom...angle it to the right just a little..this is to make it
appear curved..go below the bottom of the basket..then go back up..following the same
line you did coming down..don't make it too wide. This may take just a little
practice to get looking right...you can always use the undo tool if ya mess up.
Once you have it like you want it...hit the delete key to delete it. This will let the black layer
below show through.
Here is mine..before I deleted it.

Here is mine with all the selections deleted.

Now...again go to Selections...select all (make sure you have your Selection Tool selected)
and click in the center to select 
your slats.

Now select your Airbruse Tool..use these settings..

Set your foreground color to a dark brown color..I used #46331C
