This is one of those dreams that needed to be made but I had no idea if it would actually go together. When weaving something with no directions and only a vision there is always the chance insurmountable problems might arise. Luckily I didn't run out of beads! There are 3 different size Feldspar beads in this basket which really accented this "eye" agate. Eye agates have distinctive round formations and there are plenty of those. The Long Leaf pine needles form a basket inside and the Muhly Grass that I grow and use form a basket on the outside. The netting areas, called faggoting, are a lace making technique often used in early pine needle baskets. This basket can be seen at Von Liebig Art Center in Naples from April 10-29, 2019.
Update: Second place winner in Water Water Everywhere (158 entries) at the Visual Ats Center in Punta Gorda in June 2019.
Approximate Size: 12 X 10 X 4 inches
