Ouachita

This basket was created from dyed Florida Long Leaf pine needles, small golden agate on the base,and sewn with butterscotch waxed linen thread.  It's the thread that makes the pattern.  At the time I was interested in finding new designs and  created this Greek key variation after viewing the crown molding on our old county courthouse. It's a great pattern but is very time consuming!  I was so happy to see the pattern come to an end!   I actually finished this basket as I was enjoying the fall foliage of Quachita State Park, Arkansas.  The colors of the basket still remind me of that great trip.
Measures:  10 x 6 x 5
 Price:  $250
