1. Oh, my word!

Those are all amazing. Do you sell your stuff? Do you give lessons?

I do a certain amount of handwork myself, mostly crochet and embroidery, and as good as I think I am, I cannot hold a candle to you. Thank you so much for sharing.

Through them we give various demos and mentoring.

5. Gorgeous

I love handcrafted art. I especially like the live edge bowl.

I had a bumper crop of large gourds this year. I hope they have nice thick shells to try carving, as I've only painted them before. I want to try carved bowls.

Had no idea there was a crafts group! Will have to check it out.

11. Folks also do some amazing things with pyrography & gourds.

I've seen some that look like they're baskets- folks have burned lines in them, and painted sections to look like woven basket patterns.

e.g.

13. Yuppers

I've done a little bit of that, but want to get into it a lot more. I've seen some amazing pyrography.

All of my huge gourds are the warty kind. I'm hoping that will sand off smooth.

15. Gourds

These are just stunning!! I also work on gourds occasionally, but I dye and/or paint mine.

6. OK - you know what you are doing!

This is such beautiful work. All are gorgeous but I love love the pizza and pie utensils. The rimmed bowl is really stunning. I think I see the work of a perfectionist - kudos.
