Antler Basket


The basket in progress. I'll need to add more ribs.

Antler Basket

I used a waxed linen thread to begin the basket, then I switched to a thin purple reed.

Antler Basket

I bought two naturally shed white-tailed deer antlers on Ebay. I bought the reed and braided sea grass from The Basket Makers Catalog in Kentucky.

Cezanne style painting


I painted this one in my Drawing & Painting class along with my students. We kept the still life up for weeks. I was very happy with the students' paintings.
