Low Country Scene

Posted on August 23, 2017 by Jane Iwan

If you take the backroads that run through South Carolina’s Sea Islands, you just might come across a scene like this. The weaving of sweetgrass baskets goes back hundreds of years.

I worked from a photo taken by Jane Lurie. You can see her work at janeluriephotography.wordpress.com.

Tranquil & beautifully done. Especially love how you’ve dappled the leaves of the three potted plants. I can’t stop looking at them. I’d like to cut them out and wear them.
