Antler Basket Exhibit–Virginia, MN

April 6th, 2011 · No Comments · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog

Farewell--Antler Magazine BasketMy new antler basket exhibit, Antler Baskets: Of Sticks and Bones, will be at the Lyric Center for the Arts in Virginia, Minnesota starting tomorrow night on April 7th until the 30th.

I created several new baskets especially for this exhibit and also have brought along a few of my old favorites that will be on display only. Many of my antler baskets are made utilizing sustainable natural materials that I gather from our rural homestead property; cattail leaves, willow, diamond willow, lichen, birch bark and sweetgrass.

There will be a light refreshments tomorrow at 6:30 pm, but then the official opening will be next week on Thursday, April 14th from 6:30p.m. – 8 p.m., and I’ll be demonstrating how-to weave an antler basket. Come and how I create the antler baskets and see all the new work!

Check out the Lyric Center for the Arts blog for more information on this exhibit and all the other scheduled events and shows.

My Willow Fish in Exhibit

April 24th, 2009 · Comments Off · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog

Here are some photos of the three willow fish I made for the gallery exhibition entitled, “Open Water” running through May 30th at the Lyric Center for the Arts in Virginia, Minnesota. Attendance tonight at the opening reception was great, lots of people and very, very talented assembly of artists. Find more details about the show in previous posts below.

This first basket fish is actually made of red osier dogwood, not willow, cable ties and suede and is entitled, “Red Fish” 60″L x 18″W

 

I thought about doing the Dr. Seuss poem, “One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish” but that didn’t work out with the willow. The most I was able to come up with color-wise was red, brown and yellow wild willow and the dogwood.

 

Second willow fish is called, “Yellow Fish” 36″L x 7″W, complete with fins and all.

And the catch of the day that I managed to land ON the boat was “Catfish” 31″L x 10″W, complete with the little pussy willow catkins for its whiskers. Enjoy!
