I wore one just like this back in the 60s in Tennessee. They were quite popular and not uncommon. The intricacy of the design is really remarkable. I have seen several items lately on the internet that are made of these apple seeds such as placemats, earrings, and even a pocketbook!
Welcome to the Tasmanian Apple Seed Research Network’s research project. We simply do not believe that the makers of apple seed craftwork are indeed missing. Neither do we believe that there are no histories or stories out there in Tasmania related to this amazing aspect of cultural production in Tasmania.
It seems that up to now nobody has thought to ask the questions that might help to find the stories that are there to be told. We hope that we can find out about some of the makers who we believe were making these amazing objects probably between WW1 & the 1960s.
