Cherry Blossom Pine Needle Bowl

$58.00Product No. #VILPGBCBRI Product Description:

Artist Melanie Walter handmade this charming basket using simply pine needles and clay. Melanie, who lives in Wilmington, North Carolina, where Long Leaf Pine Trees thrive, hand selects and prepares pine needles fresh from the tree and ground area. The needles are collected, soaked, and cleaned. She then forms the basket by building coils and sews them in a desired shape. The baskets are allowed to air dry and sealed to protect the surface. Melanie, who has a background in ceramics, combines clay with pine needles to make an interesting mix of media. In this piece, she uses an impression of a cherry blossom.

The basket measures approximately 5 1/2 inches wide and 2 inches deep and is signed by the artist.
