Planting pine trees can provides shade, windbreaks and screening in the environment. They can also offer us some less obvious benefits such as the soothing sounds of wind through the pine branches and aromatic fragrances from leaves and sap. I personally love pine trees because they remind me of

As a math teacher, I am always looking for something interesting for my students to do in class. I came across the following resource. http://www.math.nmsu.edu/breakingaway/Lessons/ancientknot1/ancientknot.html I am intrigued by this ancient knot and I am happy to find this design has roots in mathematics. I used their instructions and created the following ancient knot. Ancient Knot Design on a 12 x 12 piece of paper I have seen this same design at the Textile Museum in Washington, DC in Kuba textiles at the Woven Art of Central Africa exhibit in 2011. The Africans used different color plant materials to create their designs. The plant material was worked to the point that the fibers softened and they were amazingly able to create velvet. I think this design would look beautiful in a quilt because as the math blog says, "It has no beginning or end, and according to folklore, it represents longevity and immortality." What a beautiful thing to put into a quilt which is a labor of love. You could use the Silhouette fabric blade to cut out all of the pieces which would simplify cutting the intricate pieces. Here is the PDF of the knot. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7oGIyVDbRGYbEhfRFlKcG16Mnc/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-CCL6EOZgsPGTQAh0EvT8EA Here is the .Studio file of the knot. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7oGIyVDbRGYTGdic0RjUVhRcHM/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-2GfF9NuF8LWHs-7p0hBEVQ
Cone Sliceform from derived equation My husband wrote this blog post with the mathematical analysis and now I am updating it with the PDF's and .Studio files. Let me explain...my husband is taking an analytical geometry course and he gave me the graphs to create this cone. I think he did a fabulous job! I love the reflection of the trees in the glossy surface. I think the cones look terrific as trees with my paper house from a previous post. http://papercraftetc.blogspot.com/2013/09/i-love-making-houses.html Don't you agree? Using the distance formula r^2 = sqrt(x^2+y^2) and the formula for the line in x-z space z=h/a(x) and knowing that the radius r must equal the x value in x-z space, you combine both equations. This gives you the equation for the surface z = h/a(sqrt(x^2+y^2). You can change the height to radius using the parameters h and a. To create the sliceform, you need three slices in each direction. Using the golden ratio height/base = 1.6, so height/radius = 3.2. Next, find equations for each slice in z-y space by setting x. For a six inch height, radius = 6/3.2 = 1.875. Divide this into four increments of 0.469 inches each to set x. This gives these four equations in z-y space: For x=0: z=3.2sqrt(y^2) For x=0.469: z=3.2sqrt(0.469^2+y^2) For x=0.938: z=3.2sqrt(0.938^2+y^2) For x=1.406: z=3.2sqrt(1.406^2+y^2) The PDF and .Studio files were created for just one of the trees. The files will need to be resized if you would like to create a forest of trees like I did in the pictures above. Here is the PDF of the cone sliceform. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7oGIyVDbRGYMS1DNFJ3aEF3OXc/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-ZBqVE4e0j2YO3bChQDb2zg Here is the .Studio file of the cone sliceform.

Some pine cones that I got from my Mom's house. I really liked the detail and the simple nature of this shot.
I was asked to bring something to share at my recent visit to Wood School. I haven't made these alder bees with a group for years despite having all the bits in a nice little cigar box ready to go. Normally when I'm working with groups of children who don't spend much time in the woods I like any craft I introduce to be much more open ended and exploratory. The children at wood school are seasoned creative woodland explorers and this is such a pleasing little craft and fitted the season so well. I couldn't resist and neither could the kids (and adults) at Wood School. It only relies on 3 elements; the little cones from the alder tree, white plastic carrier bags and yellow embroidery thread. I tried using full sized cones once, but the result wasn't the same. I think the teeny scale is what makes them work. A piece of thread about a foot long, and a circle cut from the carrier bag. We folded the bag in half and cut out semi circles. This really pleased one of the smaller girls who enjoyed noticing how the half circle became a full circle. The thread is tied round the bit of carrier bag with a single simple overhand knot and pulled really tight. This makes the bit of carrier bag turn into two wings. The children really enjoyed practicing the knot and helping each other keep the wings in place for someone else tying the knot. The end of the thread can be put on the cone and wound round and round until the wings are close up against the cone. You can keep winding it up until the thread is all wound round. Just make sure the thread it is poked between the scales of the cone by pulling it every so often. This one had a little loop in it by accident, but that meant it could be worn as a ring. Or leave the thread long and hang them from a tree. More than once while we were making these a bee flew by. Spring is well and truly here (for now) The bluebells are opening, the blossom is on the trees. Let's hear it for bees and the vital work they do! Yippeeee!

The babies of the pinecone world ... only about an inch long ! I love them... they're soooo cute ! "The eastern hemlock grows well in shade and is very long lived, with the oldest recorded specimen being at least 554 years old.The tree generally reaches heights of about 31 meters (100 feet), but exceptional trees have been recorded up to 53 metres (173 feet)." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuga_canadensis

Carrot like shapes emerging from a small cone on this cedar tree. Thanks for the identification, Myriorama Found this on the web:-- A fungus called Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae causes this unsightly cedar apple rust gall to appear on eastern redcedar trees (alternate host). The fungus overwinters inside these galls, then the orange jellylike "horns" (called telia) seen in the above photograph grow out of the gall in the spring and produce spores which may infect apple leaves to continue the life history of the fungus.
