PINE NEEDLE WOVEN EDGE ON GOURD



And now for something completely different...I had started a few gourd creations last year, and did some wood burning on this particular one, with a bit of paint and leather dye.  I knew that it needed something special to finish of the top edge, and when I found a long needle pine tree, felt that was the route  to go.  Keep in mind, I have not done a lot of pine needle weaving (or any), so my edges aren't the most perfect!  I used waxed twine and a beading needle to work the edging.  I think it came out beautiful, especially with my constant sneezing throughout the process!  Well worth it. I plan on doubling up my allergy meds and doing some more of this!
