Amethyst Mountain

This was a tricky setting and a totally new challenge for me! When I purchase these pieces I have no idea how easy or difficult it will be to create a secure base for the attachment of fiber.  I had to actually make a a covered base.  My sewing needle is so bent that I should probably throw it away!  Lots of wrapping with waxed linen thread and some faceted amethyst beads adds more dimension to the stone center.  More Lepedorite pendants hold the spaces at the side.  This basket will be shown September 8, 2018, at the J&J Gallery at Lakewood Ranch Village, Sarasota, FL.  I'll be there demonstrating from 11 AM to 3:00 PM.  The gallery is a beautiful showing and contains many wonderful pieces of art.  Come see us!
Approximate Size: 9 x 8.5 x 4 inches
