Pine needles are gathered from all over the U.S. Longer
needles are from the very large Ponderosa Pines in California and the medium
needles are from pine trees in Georgia and the Carolinas. They are bound
together using waxed Irish linen carpet thread from Ireland. The decorative
accessories are natural feathers, bone buttons, semi-precious stones, seashells,
pinecones and other colored threads that I hunt for in my travels.
