Green Earth Baskets

I have a deep and enduring love for making pine needle baskets. I got hooked over 35 years ago and haven’t stopped. I collect and sort all the needles I use, and have personally hand-made each and every basket on display, uniquely shaped with raffia and glass or wood beads.

Making a basket takes a lot of time and patience, not to mention a good helping of technical skills. I have proudly displayed my baskets in art galleries, storefronts, and at several Arts festivals.

I have been a juried artist at the Oregon Country Fair for over 20 years.
