LET'S FINISH THESE CRAFTS!

You Knew It Was Coming!!

This is an art piece of strung shells and beads created by Philli who is from Holland.

Our project here was to make a birdhouse by twinning 
seagrass.  We started with a big knot, then twinned
around the strands from the knot.

Anne's birdhouse
ended up looking more like a pufferfish.                                                     My birdhouse.

My basket

Round reed baskets~~seagrass twinned around spokes of
round reeds.

Nan, Kay, Deb, Anne and our lovely baskets!

My basket

The flat reed baskets are pretty much the same as the round
reed baskets.  They look very different because of the difference
in the reed spokes.

CRAFTS CONTINUED

Will It Never End?

Our neighbor's fish cleaning station which attracts many seagulls. They do not forget and come back
every day demanding more scraps. And, thus, we get the Seagull acapella choir.

After the kelp baskets,  we learned pine needle coiling in a wall hanging. The coiling was around a fair sized sand dollar.  Sea grass was added to the coiling and a piece of kelp for a hanger.

This is my pine needle wall hanging.

I enjoyed working on a gourd the best.  We first chose a size and shape, `decided how and where to cut it, scraped and sanded the inside, then painted the inside. Deciding what to do on the outside is the challenge!





This is my gourd~~I'm very pleased with the
results.

I gave this to my walking buddy, Barb, for her birthday.
