[Nfb-krafters-korner] Coiled baskets

[blindhands at aol.com]

I had gotten in touch with someone in one of the Carolinas that had
information about this and other baskets.  I can't remember the name, but
they are pine needles from a certain type of pine tree.  The lady who had
the website with a lot of information on it gave me the name of a  lady, who
did classes in her shop making the pine needle baskets.  I did get in touch
with her, but she would not do a phone chat.

Maybe if you located this website or another that had information regarding
these type of baskets you could locate another teacher or someone willing to
do a chat.

Good Afternoon all, I just read an interesting  article in the OUR SPECIAL
magazine about a blind crafter from California who makes coiled baskets from
pine needles and waxed thread.  Her name is Lynn and I wondered if she is a
member of Krafters Korner.  Lynn, if you are on this list, would you
consider teaching this craft to us? If she is not already a member, maybe we
can invite her to join or be a guest teacher.

For anyone who does not know about the OUR SPECIAL magazine, it is a
magazine produced by National Braille Press, by and for blind woman.

Carol O
