The listing, Pine needle basket instuctions and supples has ended.
I won this auction a few days again and after receiving it realized that I have a 'pine' allergy and cannot do this. It is a fantastic auction and with regret I am listing it.
This is how she describes the auction; and I couldn't describe it any better than she did.
For all you crafters, take a chance and learn how to make a pine needle basket. I've been a basket maker for years and have taught it to many. I've won ribbons and sell my baskets in galleries. Have an etsy site with my baskets on there now. here's the link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ShatomaArt?ref=si_shop
and the Facebook page has great pictures of the finished baskets as well:

Included are pine needles, (three ounces-enough to make a small baset. These are dried green longleaf
pine needles from Florida)(some different colored sinew (easiest to work with) and instructions written by me. There is enough pine needles here to make a small basket. You soak the pine needles so they are pliable, put them in a plastic bag and put them in the refrigerator while using.
I have many pictures of finished baskets on facebook under shatoma art. Also the rest of my native american artwork.
I will be mailing the package out exactly as I received it. I opened the package and looked at it (exactly as described), started reading the instructions, soon realized I had an allergy issue with the pine needles. I rewrapped them and I am offering this fantastic auction to you. My loss is your gain. Please check out her beautiful baskets on Etsy and Facebook. This is a very nice person with a lot of talent.
