SILVER HAIR


Silver Hair began on this beautiful blue lace agate I discovered in North Carolina several years ago.  I started with a few rows of Florida Long Leaf pine needles then switched to the Muhly Grass that I grow.  The grass is longer and stronger and makes it possible to create larger baskets that are firm to the touch.  The pendants are teardrops of Silver Hair Agate which are striking in themselves.  I added some cashgora roving from some friendly goats for the exhibit called for Opposites Attract.
This basket can be seen at the Visual Arts Center in Punta Gorda, on 210 Maude Street through the month of October.  It also won 3rd place.
SIZE: 13 X 11 X 4.5 inches
