This video appeared in my life at the perfect time. We had a big storm in Iowa one month ago--a derecho with winds of 140 mph. We lost 4 majestic white pines from our yard (along with other trees), whose loss we are grieving. This video inspired me to make a little basket from the trees' needles, a very healing experience. White pine needles are more delicate and shorter, but they still worked! I love my sweet little basket--it will remind me of those trees that were destroyed in the storm.

Yes, I understand. I am really sad about the pine trees we lost in the neighbor's yard that were near our property and shielded us everyday from the sun. They were extremely tall and majestic, grandfathers of the land, really. Storm Isaias weakened them, and they had to be cut down so they wouldn't fall down and hurt someone. The sound of the chainsaws was terrible. I miss them every day when I look out at the sky where they were, and it's blank. Let's all plant some new ones! For our children's children and beyond.

We would go to church bingo every Sunday and before it started she would say "do you want to split my cheri" knowing she would win at least once and I wouldn't ever win. Just her way of gifting me money. It wasn't gambling because it was for the church😂 I miss her everyday. The world is a little less bright without her in it.

So when cancer DX hit her this past Oct- it's been a whirlwind thereafter: hospital, rehab, procedures to eventually hospice.

then I'm really going to blow your mind. pretty sure you can use pine glue to waterproof this. pine glue is made by melting pine resin that seeped out of and down the tree in a pot. Just look for any conifer tree that has resin dripping down the side. don't chip it off too deeply or you'll hurt the tree. the resin is the tree's version of a scab on a cut. so go too deep and its like picking a scab, it gets infected, red, nasty, only in this case since it has bark, not skin it could allow the tree to be infected with a disease.

When I was about 25, I made a pine needle basket from a kit and gave it to my father for Christmas. He did not believe that I made it! I was shocked! I kept telling him that I did make it, but he just examined it so closely, shook his head, and repeated that he just couldn’t believe I had made it! I was so proud of myself! I used raffia and crocheted a disc about 1.5” in diameter for the base. Then I stitched the needles with the raffia, coiling it to shape, like Marina did. I don’t remember using a gauge, and I think it was just a few needles thick.

Not lost, it's here waiting for us to learn it. In order to keep it from becoming lost, everyone with the inkling ought to learn the skill, use the skill, document their experience, record how it's done, share the skill & the fruits of their labor, preserve their records as well as finished pieces & pass them on to someone who will protect & preserve them & pass them on to another who'll do the same. That way we're doing our best to keep the knowledge alive & maybe even creating a future antique, heirloom, or (hopefully) artifact for ppl to appreciate, study, & observe for generations to come. Imo, I think it's even better if a narrative is also passed along of why the skill & its product is needed, important, &/or how it can be better than mass-produced or synthetic alternatives or just good in general :)

This is a traditional handicraft from the state of Michoacán, they are my roots and it is very curious to see a foreigner ( speaking from the natives perspective only) ☺️ make a video about this traditional handicraft, this pine who my ancestors make this are native to this area, this handicraft is It has become very popular with foreigners ( I mean not natives from Michoacán) and you can not only make baskets, fruit bowls, heat shields to put the casseroles, cup holders but many other things ,this handicrafts are basic tools in the kitchen we use it all the time and highly prized, they are very durable and do not rot like people who do not know about this think.

Pine needle weaving is not exclusive to the Mexico region. Anywhere pine needles are on the planet ancient peoples have weaved with them. No one is a foreigner.

I am Ojibwe, indigenous to the Great Lakes region of North America, and we made baskets of pine and porcupine quills, with delicate patterns throughout. The people just used that which was available at their feet.
