ANDES



Bold patterns, striking agate, over sized.   If pattern is the "it" for you, then this is the pine needle basket for you.  The designs come from several old Peruvian and South American Indian designs that I saw on some pottery.  I was intrigued by the way one pattern flows into another seemingly without a beginning or end.  This is the idea I planned for this basket.  The brown agate in the bottom showcases the center as the basket is view from the toip.  The rich brown natural pine needles supply the background for the black sinew that makes the pattern.  There is a lot of wrapping in this one and therefore a lot of time in the making.
