Pine Needles. KAYSVILLE Long brown, dry pine needles from the floor of the forest provide hours of work and pleasure for the arthritic hands of Dora Woodward. Pine needles provide the medium for the many wall hangings, place mats and baskets that adorn the Kaysville residents home. Her hobby of weaving pine needles and raffia, a fiber from the leaves on an African palm, into decorative and useful items began back in 1962 when she and her husband were spending the summer at a hot springs area in California. It was there that she met a lady from Rorida who had taken pine needles from Rorida to California to learn the art of weaving. Because she did not have the time to teach Mrs. Woodward the art, Mrs. Woodward walked two miles just to watch her do the weaving. After observing for a few hours, Mrs. Woodward learned enough to begin. She worked through most of the night trying to learn the weaving. The following day she walked back to the other camper to watch her again. She found where she had been making her mistakes by observing. The artist developed all her own patterns and designs. Dry pine needles must be soaked for a few days to soften before being pliable enough to weave, explains Mrs. Woodward. If green needles are used they dry to a more yellow color than those dried before weaving. The needles vary in length from very short to over 18 inches long. Mrs. Woodward refuses to use needles shorter than 8 inches in length. She weaves circles and pine-need- le self-taug-ht stars into many of her creations metal or plasusing various-size-d tic rings to help form the circles. Her son presented her with a large ring, approximately 18 inches in diameter, he had found beside the road, telling her he knew she could find a use for it. After she completed a wall hanging with the ring her son asked Do you want me to get you a wagon wheel next? Mrs. Woodwards main source for the long needles was a friend in Washington who used to gather them and send them to her. Her friend died, leaving her with neeno access to the super-lon- g dles. The ends of the needles must be removed before being woven into the bottom of a bowl or basket so the article will sit flat. Leaving the ends on for the tops and sides makes interesting de- six-we- ek is-n- x Rim of one i y 4 -- A s - rsY ? ,v ' X',! , f IXf - if II yv ' V 1'' . k " fj., ' ' ?'''' 773-484- 0.
