Painted long needles...

Very long needles from these old pines. I've seen some beautiful woven baskets made from them. I don't have that kind of patience. Takes an awful lot of needles just to weave a small palm-sized basket.

How interesting - would love to see a basket sometime

@marlboromaam Thank you for both! How very delicate - am far too clumsy for such a craft!

Such length to those needles! Wow

[marlboromaam (Mags)]

@fbailey You're very welcome!

[marlboromaam (Mags)]

@milaniet Pretty long! I'll gather some up to shoot when they start shedding.

How amazing, we have many pines here, but none with such long needles. Those baskets are really cute. the processing fabulous as usual.
