I suppose that this is woodworking related, sort of. At least pine needles

This guy makes BEARS from pine needles. He also carves antlers. Real

WOW!

There's a group of ladies around here that make baskets and such from
longleaf needles(their longer) but nothing like that.


Why do such talented, artistic people so often have web sites I can't
look at without feeling I'm about to have a seizure?


Because they either create them themselves or some idiot in the family
volunteers to do if for them and they don't have enough sense to say
"NOT IN THIS LIFETIME!" I've never heard this one before, though:

"This site is image intensive. To best view it as designed, you should
have a highspeed Internet connection, a Firefox browser and a 17 inch
monitor. You should also have the font "Calligrapher" installed."

Good grief! What color should the computer or wall paint be?


Good grief, that's UGLY!


Indeed.
