I remember a project in Camp Fire Girls years ago working with pine needles. Look what I could have grown up to maybe accomplish! Love your work. Thank you for the pictures.

Wonderful work.....and glad to see someone else knows what a "pudding stone" is....I have found them in Atlanta, Michigan.....also know the time involved working with pine needles...Native American friend who also worked with quills, birch bark and sweet-grass.....Simply amazing what can be made from natures leftovers. :thumbup:

Oh, my word, those are super fabulous. Beautiful job on the weaving and using horn handles, WOW! They look museum quality to me.

These are beautiful. I love pine needle baskets and am in awe of people that make them. I weave baskets from grapevines. Much bigger materials and I would imagine faster to create.
