MY JEWEL GARDEN

This basket surrounds a three dimensional chunk of raw Amethyst crystals that I found for sale in North Carolina last year.  I wanted to try something different so the setting of this piece was a challenge.  The base is uneven on the back also because the piece comes from a portion of a sphere.  The challenge comes trying to make the basket level on the top and on the bottom.  The Amethyst pendants are small but a perfect size for this small portion creations.  Final touches with small Amethyst beads.  This is presently in the Primavera Exhibit at the Visual Arts Center in Punta Gorda, FL until April 30, 2016.

Approximate Size:  7.5 X 6.5 X 3.25 inches
