Announcement
In addition to my pine needle baskets, I have been using recycled cable and phone wire to create baskets and other goodies.
I am a fiber artist working with natural elements, mainly Longleaf Pine needles in my yurt studio in the mountains East of Eugene, Oregon.
Turning nature into art is a slow and methodical process.
I begin most of my pieces with 6-12 Long Leaf pine needles, wrapping them with Irish waxed linen, to create a spiral shape. It is the ancient technique of coiling, and is a very slow process.
Because I love color and textures, I add beads, wire, ribbons, wine foil (yes from a wine bottles), and whatever else catches my eye.
I make baskets, pendants, wall hangings, hand bags, and shadow boxes, pendants and floor mats. The common thread through all of my art is a touch of whimsy.
All of my art is one of a kind and unique and made with attention to detail. I do custom commissions.
I gift wrap when requested and always include a Long Leaf pine needles to show you how it all began.

5 out of 5 starsI asked Sheri to create a basket using some beads that I had purchased while on a journey I took years ago. She created for me, not just a basket, but an incredible piece of art that has a special memory for me woven into it. My basket arrived quickly and beautifully wrapped! Her work is exquisite. Sheri is a true artist!
