One of the things I want to do with this blog is spotlight artists and craftspeople who do simply amazing things.

Grizzly Mountain Arts is offering this pine needle basket that is just incredible!



The Grizzly Mountain Arts website goes into detail about the methods used to make this basket, and it is truly a painstaking process. I tried to make a pine needle basket a few years ago, and my coil was about the size of a half dollar before I decided that the people who make these baskets are saintly, patient people (and that I am not one of them). For $50, this is an incredibly good deal for such a fine piece. Go check it out before someone beats you to it!
