Indian Basket
	Indian Basket is one of my favorite mosaic patterns. After looking at the patterns of woven materials and colored beads, I made this large platter. The first Gold Indian Basket is now in a collection in Chicago. It was strong in yellows, golds, and reds. The piece was made in a manner similar to traditional mosaic work -- small colored fragments of glass laid on the base to create the colored pattern with yellows, reds, and black. The center of the platter is a dimpled iridescent glass that further conveys the similarity to a woven basket. A version I call Purple Indian Basket incorporates more purple and blue dichroic chips (over 700 in all!) to create a similar design. The piece still uses the dimpled iridescent center which changes in color as the plate is tilted in the light. In some ways this piece is more formal and elegant than the first -- the regal colors make this so. 20 inch Both designs SOLD
