When I first began basket making, I didn't appreciate the beauty of a well-made egg or market basket. So I initially gravitated toward the shapes of Japanese ikebana baskets and tea bowls. These intricate bamboo sculptural vessels intend to hold flower arrangements, and simple, hand-less unglazed ceramic forms guided my basketry endeavors for the next few years. Recycled materials, woven copper, brazed, chemical patina, polychrome 6" x 6.5" x 7".
