Pine needle weaving made with long leaf pine needles from South Carolina. The pine needles have been baked in glycerin to make them darker, shinier, and more pliable. The center is an ammonite -- a fossil that is about 416 million years old. At the bottom are sea urchin spines. The method of contruction is called coiling or weaving of the pine needles. Woven into the piece are tiger eye chips and ceramic beads. The pine needles are woven together with Irish waxed linen (Crawford brand). This process takes many hours and is truly a labor of love. This weaving has a woven hanger so it can be hung on a wall.
