Ponderosa Pine Needle Basket with Ceramic Hummingbird Centerpiece

Ponderosa Pine Needle Basket with Hummingbird

An earthenware hummingbird is the centerpiece for this 4 3/4" diameter 2 3/4" deep Ponderosa Pine Needle Basket.

Grizzly Mountain Arts creates their Ponderosa Pine Needle Baskets from start to finish. As soon as the snow melts in the upper elevations, Dave and Jo start their pine needle gathering expeditions in the Ochoco National Forest in central Oregon. Great care is taken in the collection of just the perfect needles, which are then taken home and dried. After the right amount of drying time has elapsed, the needles are then soaked and allowed to dry until they have just the right amount of moisture to allow for handling. Sometimes, at this point in the process, we dye the pine needles a variety of colors. Artificial sinew is our material of choice for stitching our baskets. It is just about as strong a material as you can find and closely resembles the real sinew used in many old Native American baskets.

We choose to not seal our baskets with wax or shellac. The great Native American basket weavers of long ago would use pitch to seal their baskets intended to hold water. We think you will enjoy, like we do, being able to pick up your basket and smell the forest.

Unfortunately, we cannot sell our baskets outside of the U.S. because of the laws regarding the export of plant materials.

FREE shipping is our way of saying "Thank You!" for shopping with Grizzly Mountain Arts on Etsy!

Carved Wood and Antler Lace Bobbin

While sitting on our deck watching the hummingbirds feeding at Jo’s bright red feeder, Dave thought of making this colorful carved bobbin. It is made of beautifully grained Tulip wood, carved deer antler and ruby red celluloid accent rings. The antler insert features two carved hummingbirds, flowers and leaves motif. It is 4 ¼ inches long and drilled for a spangle and initialed and dated by Dave, the maker.

We use shed antlers which naturally fall off the animal each year after the breeding season. They grow back during spring and summer, and are fully developed again by the fall breeding season. After that, they are shed and the process repeated again for the next years growth.

This bobbin is currently up for auction on Ebay.

Want to Make Soap?

We have decided we like to make soap in bars, without molds, so we are selling all of our molds in one fell swoop! These types of molds usually sell for about $5.00 each, but we are selling all of our molds for $38.00 plus shipping.

The 13 plastic molds consist of 7 two-part soap molds that come with the rubber bands to hold them closed (there are 14 rubber bands included) and 6 one-part molds. Each mold makes a 4+ ounce size bar. There are photos of all of the molds for sale at the link above.

These molds can be found in our Etsy Grizzly Mountain Cache supply shop.
