I was working on this particular piece while I was demonstrating at the wild Child Gallery in Matlacha, Fl and received several remarks on the basket. It is an unusual agate in the base for it has four different sedimentations. It has two cone shapes in the lower area that look like boats floating on a layered sea. The upper half is the usual druzy area but also has an eye formation in the right corner. The Muhly grass that I grow and use for my artwork is accented with Silver Hair agate beads. I wove an area on the top edge that is reminiscent of a sail with a palm inflorescence boat. This area gives the piece lots of texture. This basket can be seen at Von Liebig Art Center in Naples, FL from April 10-29, 2019.
