Description:

The Big Easy, Crescent City, New Orleans-call it what you may and with this piece I attempted to capture the essence of the Louisiana bayou and its timeless beauty. With the bayous & the Cajun "joie de vivre" this work attempts to reveal some of the mysteries of the swamps, trees & Cajun music with this washboard look to the flap on this work. In my attempt to capture the "bon temps" (good times) I have experienced in New Orleans I added a beautiful set of silver beads knitted and felted around the base of this work and also added silver beads to the lower edge of the flap. The fringed flap expresses my love for the southern trees with Spanish moss hanging down from the branches. The wonderful sense of history & life of New Orleans has influenced the arts from writings of George W. Cable,Lafcadio Hearn, Grace Elizabeth King & an endless variety of artists with infinite genres. The interior of this piece continues the Bayou theme with the lovely Creole fabric I purchased in New Orleans.
