While living on an island
in Desolation sound Sonia was inspired to take a class weaving
baskets of cedar and kelp. Under the teachings of Cheryl Massey,
Sonia began transforming kelp into baskets of unique sizes and
shapes which display intricate colors and textures. Sonia enjoys
scouring the beaches of Quadra Is, with her daughter and their two
dogs, looking for just the right pieces.
Each basket is a unique
one of a kind piece as the kelp dries and the colors emerge. The
length of time that the kelp is dried in the sun gives it deep rich
tones. This makes it most fun to do as the results are not always
quite what you expected.
The baskets are made of
100% Bull kelp. They must not get wet. They have been treated with
mineral oil. Sonia wanted to keep the product as natural as
possible. |
