Basket Design: Evergreen Lake Cattails Woven With Braided, Wild, Marshgrass

I think there should be a rectangular, windowsill basket handmade, by the Native American artisans from Evergreen Lake's wild cattails and braided marshland grasses. It could hold wild columbine flowers from Elk Meadows, potted into tiny, dyed porcupine quill vases, with deerskin. The braided grass and quills could be dyed with local willow tree bark tannins. Strips of aspen bark could be the main structure of the basket. The cattails and braided marsh grasses could be woven in last. I wonder if a dollhouse could be made from that type of material, also.
