The warping of the whiskey barrel is done in 13 strands. 12 to represent the numbers on a clock, and the 13th is placed in a position to represent the measure of 8 minutes of time. The weaving also reflects this- the 8 minutes are woven separately from the remainder of the circle. The center is how I envisioned the rosette from Patsy's prom shoe to look, and the surrounding weave resembles the river flowing around it. There are also 8 loose pearl beads (representing time and the broken pearl necklace) placed throughout the willow branches that encircle the inside edges of the barrel ring.
