This item is a Native coil basket, made with traditional weaving techniques using contemporary materials such as wool yarns woven around cotton rope.
This gorgeous basket is 4.5 inches high by 5.5 inches wide, and is an open concept with no lid, embellished around the rim with leather fringe trimming. The wool yarn is a variegated blend of turquoise blues and yellows that was inspired by the New Mexico skies. This piece is a medium size basket - not too small, not too large - which makes it outlets perfect for an accent work of art or a functional item to keep things in. The tightness of the weave makes the basket structure very solid and sturdy, yet absolutely unbreakable so safe around children and pets. To clean, use the upholstery attachment of your vacuum cleaner to keep it dust-free.
My baskets are unique works of art that are created organically as I begin the first coil. I may have the seed of an idea, but as I work, Spirit works through me and the design takes shape. No two are ever exactly the same. My inspiration comes from many places - from the high desert of New Mexico, the California coast, and even the beaches in Florida. Coil weaving has been a way for me to honor my heritage as a member of the White Earth tribe of Minnesota, and carry Native weaving traditions into the future. Thank you for vising my store. I welcome any questions you might have!
