A Mesquite vase with a southwestern shape. There is one band of faux basket weave which includes turquoise nuggets and three other dyed bands with nuggets. The rim and base are also dyed using archival black ink. I call the turquoise pieces nuggets for lack of another term. They are polished (tumbled) bits of turquoise, each with tiny differences in color, features and shape. They are adhered with CA into ground cavities. All featured areas are sealed with clear acrylic spray. The Mesquite is finished with multiple coats of Waterlox. 8" tall, 7" round.
