I wanted to combine berries, traditional Cherokee basketry, and add my touch of colors to create this painting. πŸ₯ΊπŸ«ΆπŸΌ The visit to Tahlequah, OK for Cherokee National Holiday, last summer, helped me see and learn about my people's basketry.

When you are so over being sick that you make a dinner that is HEAVY in spices. It tastes very good, spices are definitely hitting my throat which is needed, and I added pasta into this fufilling mixture. 10/10 would make again.
