“Prayer Carried in Bloom”, an A. Day original
5.5” tall x 8” wide double wall, mixed media basket.
Woven in natural, wine red, teal, and smoked reed, this basket holds four bloodroot blooms — three from ledger paper carrying the Lord’s Prayer in Mvskoke, and a small beaded bud. Inside, a circle surrounded by four rings forms its inner wall — a quiet reminder of cycles, direction, and balance.
Each element once lived — reed, paper, pigment — now reformed into a vessel for memory and prayer. It reflects beauty that emerges in unlikely places, honoring the life cycle of what once was by transforming it into something enduring.
Basket #7 in an ongoing series, made a little differently than the first six — a small evolution in form and spirit.
