This woven bottle is made with yellow and red cedar bark with canary grass and maidenhair fern false embroidery. Luckey used maidenhair fern to create the purple Fleur-de-lis design, a reference to her son Chris' roots in New Orleans. The woven bottle was created during the Intermediate/Advanced Level Cedar Bark Weaving - Glass Bottles class taught by Mangyepsa Gyipaayg, Kandi McGilton, in 2024.
"Weaving reflects who you are. I'm Haida and Tsimshian. My grandfather, George Mather Sr., was a carver and Casper Mather was my great uncle. I began weaving because I felt a need to connect. My first weaving class was with Holly Churchill at the Heritage Center in 2000. I have spent many years learning to weave in the Haida style. I was excited for this class with Kandi because it was my first time weaving in the Tsimshian style."- Caroline Luckey
