Ride a Painted Horse

This basket is created from coils of Muhly Grass grown and harvested by the artist. The Arizona stone, called Wild Horse, is a stone containing red ochre and magnesite. Red Ochre was used by early Indian cave painters.  The stone is stunning in its colors or dark red and white but also contains shades of yellow and purple.  The agate beads in three sizes:  pendants, round faceted, small beads.  These add color and sparkle to the movement as suggested by the checkered pattern of the rust colored waxed linen thread.

Approximate Size:  13 x 10 x 5 in.

Price: $425

Tree of Light

"Tree of Light" is a basket set on an unusual Tree Agate. The agate actually looks like a tree of white "leaves" with a green "trunk".  The brown pine needles are attached to the base with thread not drilling holes. Then the lighter colored Muhly Grass is added and coiled with waxed linen thread. The dark eight Russian Jade pendants and two shades of smaller jade beads adorn the sides.  Tree agates are the owner's attachment to Mother Earth and promote well being.  Jade has always been  representative of fertility.

Approximate Size: 9.5 x 8 x 3.5 in.
