PINE NEEDLE BASKETRY: FROM FOREST FLOOR TO FINISHED PROJECT

Pine needles have become raw materials for baskets because they are a widely available, renewable resource. Mallow is a pine needle basketry artist and teacher. Here she covers materials, tools, basic techniques and projects. Instead of step-by-step instructions, the projects refer the crafter to the general techniques pages at the beginning of the book. Novices are advised to make the practice basket project, which has detailed instructions, before attempting a more advanced basket. This book may be more suitable for use with classes than as a guide for beginners.
