Thanks John! I've never seen anyone actually share how this is done. Will be looking at pine needles on the ground a bit differently now... And I'll bring some home! LOL! Great video! Cheers!

I stopped making teapots with lugs as I couldn’t find nice handles - I know it will take me a try or two to get them nice but THANK YOU for showing me how to do this!
