Collection: Standing Vessels

Standing Vessels range in size from very small to very large, and can stand on a table, shelf or even on the floor.  They differ from "basketry" in that the palm sheath fiber has been attached to a wood base, and then covered and embellished.  Some are stand alone art objects, while others can be utilitarian and hold things like fresh flowers (use a glass insert), or dried branches. They may carry a message of their own, like the Introspection series.   They are usually sold individually unless described as a group (like The Three Sisters). Their flat wood base provides stability for tall pieces, and can easily be weighted inside to weather a strong breeze blowing through your home.  You can also have a Standing Vessel custom made for your home or to give as a gift. This is Shelley's most popular collection.

New standing vessels are being created every week.  Visit Shelley at the weekly Waimea Town Market or contact her to see what may available but not yet listed online.
