The Oregon Coast


Live in the sunshine,
Swim the sea,
Drink the wild air. 
-Ralph Waldo Emerson


On a recent trip to the Oregon Coast I came home inspired and renewed. These baskets are a result of what being by the ocean does for my creativity. I am always in awe of the natural beauty of the ocean and the land that surrounds it. I had the privilege of living on the Oregon Coast many years ago and it will always hold a special place in my sole.  Enjoy!

Out To Sea
Made with natural brown Longleaf pine needles, sweetgrass, gray artificial sinew, teal sand dollar and round sea glass beads and a brown, gray, teal and cream agate with a crystallized center for the base.
