Tina
Puckett's natural handcrafted baskets and sculptures span over twenty
years of creative activity. Her choice of materials and form have always been
influenced by the bountiful variety nature has to offer. She uses bittersweet,
a vine that has yellow and red berries in the Fall and is pliable only when
freshly harvested. She combines it with fibers like Danish cord, hemp, sea grass,
reed and grapevine, incorporaing her designs into the natural shapes of her
materials.
Tina mixes her own dyes and her strong sense of color shows in the subtle use
of dyed fibers to effect a more dynamic piece; and ultimately, a little bit
of "love" slips into the weaving of each piece...never to be retrieved.
