Tealed Stone

The teal color may be waning in decorating but many of us still love that cross between blue and green.  This agate is one of these and just called to be blended with brown pine needles and teal thread.  The turquoise pendants are a striking color match to the stone.  The swirling pattern gives this piece plenty of movement in any position.

Approximate size: 12 X 10 X 5 in

Stillwater

This two piece basket is created from Florida Long Leaf pine needles with gray waxed lined thread.  The exposed pine needle heads give the basket a rustic look along with the detailed miniature handle of a Loon.

The Mighty Bear

This basket recently won an Honorable Mention at "The Fall Exhibition" locally.  That means it was competing against watercolor and oil paintings, ceramics, and other forms of art.  I was pleased with the outcome of muhly grass coiled around an agate slice.  The design was completed with artificial sinew while the remainder was stitched with waxed linen thread.  Any large pattern is tedious and a pattern that covers this may rows and done on two sides can be hard on the nerves.  The horsehair braided top accent helps bring out the color in the agate with the added jasper bear fetish and carved bear claw.
