Gorgeous! This the second video of yours that I've watched and I'm still amazed. (Although my hands kinda want to cramp up just watching you holding that small tool so long, LOL!) How long do these things last? Don't they start to rot away eventually, like pumpkins do after halloween?
Why thank you! Yes, I do get trigger finger sometimes - gotta remember to stretch my hands & back! They last forever, no lie! Gourds like these (hard shelled gourds) have been found dating as far back as 13,000 BCE. They have been dried after harvesting & are more like wood than pumpkins.
Some of the most beautiful work I've ever seen, congratulations
Thank you so much - that means a great deal to me!
Just glorious! I love how you continued the lacy pattern "under" the solid curves. Beautiful effect!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that you noticed that! 🙂
@@BethKaneArt you're welcome, and I learned from another of your videos that the correct term is "filagree"!
Just lovely, this video is so helpful. Thank you!

@@BethKaneArt Wow, that's really cool!
What are the names of those special drills and power tools you use......your work is divine❤
Thank you so much! I am currently using a micro-pro microcarver by mastercarver but a dremel rotary tool with a flex shaft also works well.
