Love in Stone


This basket was a long time in planning.  The stunning Rhodocrosite base was so appealing when I purchased the stone.  It was difficult to decide what pendants to use with it.  It wasn't until almost two years later than I came across some Rhodocrosite beads at a bead show.  It's not the the beads are so rare, it's they are so expensive!  The Rhodocrosite stone is known as the Love Stone, consequently the name. The Muhly Grass that I grow just adds a nice creamy tone to the whole basket.  In September - October 6 it can be seen at the Von Liebig Art Center in Naples, FL.  The Southwest Florida Fine Craft Guild is sponsoring a show.  The Art Center's directors were very enthused over our show and we hope we will be able to do another show there in the near future.
