Rebecca Abarr wins at Iowa Artists Show

Blue Frog basketweaver, Rebecca Abarr of Redding, Iowa, won a blue ribbon for her gorgeous antler basket entitled, "Al's Antler."

The 2008 Iowa Artist Show was held this past weekend at Southwestern Community College.

Rebecca is pictured discussing the different materials she uses in her basketry.
