Deer Antler, Peacock Feathers and Rose Wood Basket

This is a one of a kind basket. I have used a deer antler that hangs from the arc of the rose branches. Peacock feathers highlight this earth-tone colored basket . Real rabbit fur was used .* The rose branches have had their thorns removed and sealed. All items used are natural to create this basket.This basket is about 15" tall, 10" across the front/back and 4' deep.


* All animal products used in my artwork were originally used for food and not sport hunting. In the Indian community when using the fur, antlers and feathers, shows that the animal is honored for its sacrifice so we could survive another day.

The feathers used on this basket come from Larry the peacock, named after one of the Three Stooges and was owned by bead artist Little Star Woman, who also has a site on Art Fire, TimberWolfArtGlass.
