The bucket. 1) Create the ellipses and rectangle shown above left. 2) Select the rectangle and the bottom ellipse and Arrange > Combine Shapes > Add Shapes or press Ctrl 1. 3) Create a small rectangle. Double click on any corner with the Rectangle Tool (M) to apply Curved Corners. Create a small circle, position it in the top center. Select both shapes and press Ctrl 2 or Arrange > Combine Shapes > Subtract Shapes.

Click twice on the small rectangle to enable rotate/skew mode. Drag the right center double arrow control handle up on the right about 15 degrees. You will see the Skew angle on the Infobar as you drag.

1) Clone the handle shape. Move the clone down and right a few pixels in each direction. 2) Clone the clone. Select the clone and the original (the first handle shape) and Add Shapes (Ctrl 1).
