Artwork Description

Judy Mulford first learned to make traditional pine needle baskets after her children left home. As her skills developed she began to incorporate photographs, words, beads, and buttons into her knotted and woven sculptures. Tribute is crafted from materials that relate to Mulford’s family and is embroidered with the words “Respect and Honor Yourself. Risk. Enjoy.”
