My latest woven basket illusion, a ceremonial basket design that I call Navajo Rain Cross. The cross symbol can also be found on Navajo rugs and pottery and is often used to represent Spider Woman, the first Navajo deity. The basket is twelve inches in diameter and the wood is maple. Beading, pyrography and ink were used to create the basket illusion. It was donated to the SWAT 2019 Symposium and selected as an auction item.

Here is my latest basket illusion piece. It is a 14½ inch diameter Navajo style wedding basket. The wood is maple that has been beaded and then woodburning pens were used to create the woven basket illusion. Copic ink pens were used to color the pattern which is the classic Navajo wedding basket design.
