Magan Ruthke Artist/Friend to Key Deer

Two new baskets! Completely handmade out of loblolly pine needles from Marylands Eastern Shore and Brazilian waxed cord - these babies are such a labor of love. Split stitching a basket is maddening but so worth it for the end result.
The larger basket has a stitched in layer of handmade horseradish cordage that I made with horseradish leaves.

I've added a shop update, along with it is a super special, small collection of earrings made with wood from the iconic Shawshank Redemption white oak. Yes, the tree from the movie located in Ohio. It was tragically struck by lightning and the wood sold off. I have some of it and will be occasionally using it in my work. They're are very limited but you can get a pair in my shop now. Hand-painted, real pressed plants.
