It is a lot of work and unless you have a good base of students it can be hard to fill the more expensive specialty classes. If I have of any I will post them to my blog though.<br /><br />Thanks for the complements on my blog too.<br /><br />TonyJ.

There are few to no classes around the area and long travel is a no-go for me right now with three boys (13,15 and 55!).2zcreekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14213981425546569727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4090493445166344715.post-56430200666808275802009-10-19T20:29:29.466-05:002009-10-19T20:29:29.466-05:00Pam,

I always just called them, "ends" ;-P Nice to know the real term.<br /><br />Oh, that is the only stitch I do. I am sure it has an official name, but I just call it a chain stitch. I like it because I can double the thread and the needle is capture.<br /><br />TonyJ.

...That is a lovely basket, Tony! I am impressed. <br /><br />Oriental is just down the road from where I live, and it constantly amazes me here,in the heart of where the longleaf pine grow, how few people have seen a pine needle basket. They DO think of pine needles only as mulch. Amazing! That is how they react to the baskets, too....amazing!<br /><br />Your basket has grace and i love how the sharp spiral of the fascicles opposes the more gentle spiral of the stitching. I also love the contrasted oriface at the top...very expressive! <br /><br />Of course, I am not surprised at all, considering your other work. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. <br />pamelaPamela Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904926075031478539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4090493445166344715.post-23804085790399751102009-10-19T16:38:08.083-05:002009-10-19T16:38:08.083-05:00Juliana,

I kept trying to tell them they had cash laying all over the ground, but none of them were coilers so didn't share in my excitement.J.

I've never tried coiling, but it fascinates me!<br />I laughed out loud reading this...I can just picture you out there carefully picking up "mulch"!Juliana/A Hand Woven Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796037998414244735noreply@blogger.com
