Sailing the Great Lakes

(estimated value: $150)

This unique weaving recalls a lazy summer day on the shores of the Great Lakes. The base of this water image was created by weaving various colors and textures of yarns, and it was enhanced with the character of pastel threads and trims. A distant sailboat completes the lovely scene.
