Coiling With Friends

Every year around Valentine's Day

we head south to Zephyrhills

to visit our friends and make a trek to

the Webster flea market.

 

This phenomenal flea market covers what seems like

hundreds of acres with tons of vendors

selling all sorts of treasures.

I am always on the lookout for knitting and crafting stuff. 

 

Last year I came across someone selling agate slices.  I purchased a few

and sent them off to be encased in acrylic so they could be used

as a base for a pine needle basket.

 

 

 

It just so happens that the friends we visit

(well, the wife at least)

is who taught me the craft of

making a pine needle basket.

 

So when we get together, we coil...

sharing ideas

and new methods

to use in basket making.

 

She is very talented and encourages me

to look beyond what is

usually done.

 

The agate in acrylic was just such an adventure.

 

I love how the clear acrylic allows

whatever color come through.

 

My latest creation, now in my Etsy Shop

Pine Designs

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Until next time...
