The center figure is to bring honor to the native music that comes from the heart of the music maker. The step-wrap pattern represents the sacred four directions, and the balance of the design in the swirling circle of the step is the blessing of music at all times for all things.

The naturally dried pine needle has lived the life assigned by the creator. I see continued beauty in this fiber, and select with care the needles to be used for a basket. Green needles were added to this vessel to remind the one who holds the basket of the promise of spring. Three coils of green are significant to this weaver and always a pattern of three will appear somewhere in my work ~~~ to symbolize my personal most treasured blessing of the gift of three sons.
