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.



Approximate size:  16 X 12 X 5.5 in


Price:  $450
