Description
You can watch these women weave their baskets out of the marsh grass you see everywhere. The baskets have a distinctive pattern and are quite lovely. if you buy one from a street vendor direct you will get a better price than ones sold in galleries.

Love this capture of a common southern activity, weaving sweetwater grass baskets. Nice painterly edit.

I love her smile - she seems to love her work. The cheery blue and yellow palette is very nice, too, as is the painted look.

I LOVE this!! I have several of those baskets and they "Ain't cheap!" But they are worth it. Ilove the effect on this photo. Just lovely!! P.S. Thanks for the features!

Wonderful Patricia. These ladies are so talented in their craft. Sad to think the younger generation doesn't want to keep it going. Love the processing you did an the rich color. Maybe one of these days I'll get down to your area of SC, although it's beautiful no matter where we go isn't it. Nice work. f/l :)

Tank you Kathy. There is a woman right down the road from me who sells her wares at her little stand. I bought my first sweet grass basket there. I plan on buying several more for holiday gifts.

Well, that is great , Carla. I actually shot this on film a long time ago and just used a little new fancy software to create the painting effect.
