TINA'S BASKETS
Fine handwoven sculptures
Tina Puckett's WOVENWORKS
natural sculptures span fourteen 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 Fall and is
pliable only when freshly harvested.
She combines it with fibers like Danish
cord, hemp, sea grass and grapevine,
incorporating 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
Tina Puckett has exhibited at museums, art galleries, libraries and craft shows.
She has appeared on television and in prominent magazines and newspapers.
Among her various honors, Tina Puckett has won the
