The antler class is finding your antler and building a frame. Then you problem solve to weave the basket to compliment the antler. Every antler has its own story. |

The next day my host Theresa DeCaro took me on a side trip to Long Island and the Jersey shore. The Barnegat lighthouse was one of several lighthouses I encountered on my trip. |
