Indigo Dance

This basket was created from muhly grass that I grow myself.  It's a sturdy round grass much like seagrass.  One plant can easily produce enough grass for this basket with one cutting.  The grass is dried for about a month and then its ready to use.  The blue areas are dyed pine needles and help compliment the indigo jasper stones.  The agate slice in the bottom has a natural hole where the quartz slurry did not quite make a solid piece.  This is common in many agate slices and actually add to its beauty.  Update:  November 6, 2009:  This basket won a first place prize at the "All Member Exhibit" at the Center for the Arts, Art League of Bonita Springs, FL.  The show continues through the month of November.
Measures:  13 x 11 x 6 inches
Price:  $300  SOLD
