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.
