 My Latest Creations

This 3 are from the Northeast Basketmakers Guild annual Gathering April 27 -29 2018

With my travels in Feb and March I haven't been weaving very much lately. However this "Creature from the Deep" joined my pine needle (and gourd) creations this winter.

This wall hanging is made from palm inflorescence. The detail shows a little bit more of the texture.

This basket makes me think of a boat.

This basket is a collaboration with a ceramic artist whose studio is next to mine. He made the base and the top is pine needles with philodendron sheath "flowers". Titled: Emergence

This pine needle basket is titled Ocean. This basket won 3rd place in the professional division at the NBG Gathering 2018. Very proud!!

* Unique baskets and sculpture of paper, pine needles and reed

* Basket weaving classes
