Rubies in Sherwood Forest

You can see by the background this picture was taken outside, actually on my sister's deck near the shores of Lake Ontario in New York.  I made this while visiting my family in July.  This beautiful green base is Zoisite which also contains very visible chunks of Ruby and Emerald.  The unusual shape of the stone leads to a triangular shape of the finished basket.   The large emerald cut Russian Jade pendants predominate the sides against a natural tone of Muhly Grass and natural and green waxed linen thread.  This basket can be seen in the Artisans' Loft of Pultneyville, New York.

Approximate Size:  10 x 9 x 4 inches
