Sunset Over the Glades

This basket was created from Muhly Grass, grown and harvested by the artist, and sewn with waxed linen thread.  The stone on the bottom is called Bloodstone.  It has rich dark forest greens of varying hues together with golds and red.  This one looks like a picture from the Everglades at sunset so my doctor said and so its name.  The colors of the stone are repeated with the wrapping of waxed linen thread and accented with Russian Jade pendants.
