Sweet Summer, coiled sweet grass and pine needle trinket basket

1.5” X 5.5”
A petite tribute to summer and all the lovely fragrances of hot, sleepy days in hammocks under grand and gracious pine trees amid the grasses of the slow season.
This small nest of a container is made of mostly sweet grass, a most fragrant plant when dried, that I grow outside my studio. I have mixed in both green and brown needles (cooked in a glycerin solution to add gloss and flexibility) along with a few wild oats dried very pale.
A perfect size for the smallest practical items like paper clips or guitar picks, or any small treasures.
