What a neat idea. My son lives at Grass lake andsees lots of antlers, I'll have to tell him about this.
|
Now that's a basket
|
Absolutely beautiful ! what a talent you have ... Kudos to you :)
|
Great job! My son would adore one.
|
OMG those are beautiful!!
|
Wow! They're beautiful! We're surrounded by pines here and every once in a while I find deer antlers that have been shed. I'd love to learn how to make them.
|
waaaay back in the 60's my dgm moved to florida, and started making them, she would always win first prize at art shows, she would make themall year, and pay her way to ny on her sales, they are so beautiful, i love them, and only have 2 of what she made, how much do you sell themfor,?????
|

beautiful. Love these! would like to know how you make these?
|
OMG! Wow! Just WOW! I've never seen anything like that! Beautiful work!
|
Wow Such talent! I have one. I gave the other one away to my sister that was a little basket with a lid that had raffia accents on it. It was from the toyobe national forrest gift shop some thirty years ago. A little one about seven inches around was thirty dollars way back then. It is amazing the precision these are made with!
Museum quality work... Just beautiful. |
I used to do that years ago, but actually got rid of all my pine needles about 4 years ago. Your work is BEAUTIFUL.....
|
Very beautiful!
|
These baskets are so incredibly gorgeous and I LOVE the antler handles. You should be able to sell these easily and get a good price for them. They are very lovely. Thanks for sharing. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
Awesome baskets!!
|
Wonderful art from rustic material - they look great.
|
OMG how beautiful. I love baskets and wish that I could make them. You did a wonderful job. Keep up the great work.
|
Your work is so good and they look so nice.
|
Bee-u-tee-full. Love the deer horns as the handles.
|
Beautiful work !!
|
They are awesome. I really like the antler handles.
|
Fabulous work - very clever to use the antlers for a handle. Love those.
I like your pic too - I have a 74 lb yellow lab that sleeps with us. Luckily we have a king sz bed & the 54 lb basset is too short to get upn there too. ;) |
WOW! How creative and beautiful! Love them!
|
They are lovely. Whilst the materials are natural your baskets have a quite sleek contemporary look...a lot of woven baskets have a more rustic look, I like that too, but yours could look great in a modern interior.
|
Our Art teacher did these with her class one year. These look great.
|
I love baskets! These are collectable - each so unique..would love the opportunity to purchase one.
|
OMG I loveeeeeeeeee those stones in the bottom.. so pretty!!
|
Your baskets are gorgeous! I have only one that my late MIL
gave me and I tresure it. |
I don't think I would ever have the patience's to make one up, you did a awesome job
|
I have several pine needle baskets that my grandmother made. They've lasted a LONG time and I love them!
|
Love them !!
|
My sister made a clock using pine needles and it is beautiful.

When my grandmother died, I claimed her oval pine needle sewing basket with beads on top. It holds lovely memories for me. Inside the basket are her sterling silver thimble, buttonhole scissors, and her monogrammed sterling silver tatting shuttle.
One day I'd like to tackle making a pine needle basket of my own. |
Your baskets are BEAUTIFUL! The horns are the perfect artistic, earthy touch. How can I sign up for your gift list?!
|
I contacted my brother in fla, trying to convince him to send me a bunch of pine needles. It is a no go :(
I did want to let you all know that he said they sell these needles by the bale for a few bucks each for landscaping . So if you are south you can start a new project LOL. |
These are gorgeous!
|
those are fantastic. Please PM me if you are willing to sell and how much...
