I finally got in gear and took the class in pine needle basketry, something I've wanted to do for quite some time. A friend of mine teaches it and she's made some of the most exquisite baskets you've ever seen! I just needed to have the basic idea of how to start; now I can take it from there. Just what I need - another project! While we're in Florida, I need to find a good stand of long-needle pines where I can pick up the needles. I could use the shorter ones in Colorado, but they'd be a major PITA compared to using the nice long ones! You can really tell my first coaster is a "beginner's" project, but next time I'll know more what I'm doing. I just wanted to get the general idea of how to start. The center is a section of a black walnut, which is really a neat way to start baskets too!
