An Artist creates with their heart and soul

This basket was created from a Beach Buckle, it was an exchange Basket that went to California.Each Pine Needle Artist was sent a Beach Buckle and had to create a basket around it.

This basket was a challenge but loads of fun to make.

This Basket was coiled using raffia and pine needles.
The design was done by me and I used white blue, gold and black raffia

I really enjoy doing pictures in my baskets, it is time consuming but worth it.

Ths was an exchange basket made from book titled Gone With the Wind

This Basket was made out of Pine Needles and artificial sinew.

We had to make a basket representing a book , in which the exchange hostess sent to us.

My Book was" Gone with the wind,"

I created a Southern Bell with a music box.

 

When we do exchanges from the Pine Needle Group, this gives us a chance to be very creative.
An Idea is thought up by a hostess or host and the Pine Needle Artist creates a basket  from their idea.
It is fun and you can get those creative juices going.
