Publisher's Note Baskets made from pine needles? Leaf through the full-color photo gallery of 22 award-winning artistic creations, then look at the 44 baskets you can make following conventional basket-making methods, and you'll just have to give this imaginative and inexpensive craft a try.. Use ordinary materials and tools from your sewing basket and kitchen cabinet, and the techniques are simple -- it's like coiling a thick length of rope around on a flat surface while you stitch the coils to each other to hold them together. From the basic techniques, hundreds of other projects are possible.
Industry Reviews Pine needles have become raw materials for baskets because they were a widely available, renewable resource. Mallow (Pine Needle and Nut Crafting, Glover, 1984) 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. Stefanatos
