This is one of Myrna's finest projects. This Raffia weaving is 25" square on the inside and 34" to the outside of the frame. Surrounding the weaving with pineneedles has set this piece off to perfection. John's hand made arrow heads, myrtlewood feathers and turquoise and sterling silver beads complete the total effect. This is all enclosed in a double matted hand made myrtlewood frame with non-glare glass. $2400.00
This lamp was a long term project and I do not expect to do any more lamps. The lamp shade has six sides, alternating with the weaving and then one with caning, done with the raffia. There are some of John's hand made glass beads around the base of the shade. John turned the myrtlewood parts and assembled it for me.
