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.

The basket is currently on display at the Blue Frog Arts gallery in Lamoni, IA and can be purchased for only $250.
