Pine Needle Baskets

Green thread used for the stitching.  Most of the needle bases left intact so this dish is has a rough surface.

Clicking any of the pictures will show you a much larger picture.

So you can see the other side.

Looking down into the interior.

The bottom showing all the ends of the needle bundles the artist left in place.  

A closeup look at the bottom.  It shows how the start was made, the way the stitches spiral out from the center, and how the ends of the needles were left in place.
