    That's the cutest bunch of hand made mushrooms I have seen in a really long time! They came out looking spectacular and so real looking! I think you both are amazing women. You have shown us, time and time again how resourceful you both are. You can almost feel the love and kindness that you both put into everything you create with your own four hands, it totally blows my mind! For real? Is there anything you ladies can't do? 😁👍

    A lovely creation Alex and a really well edited video. That oak burr is beautiful. One little tip when using a handsaw rub a candle down the sides of the blade before using it makes it a lot easier and prevents it jamming. Well done :)

  • @HelenBeeee
    @HelenBeeee 4 года назад +5

    Ahhh lovely even though I do feel you could have left the bowls intact I felt a little sad when you sanded away at the pipe bowls hahaha....it was like taking away the sands of time!Possibly felt that way because I dont own pipe bowls and would love to and so probably feel they are so precious whereas in actual fact there are millions of them everywhere in the UK. Very lovely idea though and that oak burr was amazing.

    Wow😲, I've never seen an oak burr before it was worked. You did an amazing job, Alex, at bringing out the beautiful grain😍. And SO clever with the pipe bowls and stems turned into mushrooms 👏👍. Your piece looks like a lovely glimpse of magical forest where one might see some "wee folks" 🧚🧝🧙 foraging around ☺️😉. Thank you both for this relaxing and inspiring video ☺️😊.

    Alex's aesthetic evolution is showing in the videos, it's so pretty and romantic even. So pleasant to watch. Also when she made the "mushrooms" caps clank against each other made me think if it would possible to make wind chimes with them (by attaching a fishing line through the stem and cap) but idk how fragile they are... Either way! So pretty

    You are so creative. Those mushrooms/fungi are really stunning. Watching you use the 2 part epoxy glue took me back about 45 years when my father worked for a well known adhesive company in South Africa and they just brought out the first epoxy 2 part glue - we were able to go to the factory with him if he was called out at night and watch it being made (no health & safety issues in those days). You are such a lovely mother & daughter team to watch - you never cease to amaze us with new and different crafts etc. Bless you both.

    The shrooms that popped up in your wood, your magic hand that made them good. Of pipe bowls and their whitened stems, like Fairy skirts with dainty hems. It made me wish to wander there, where life is free, and without a care, and for a moment all was good, within your magic making wood!
    Thank you Alex, your gifts are such an inspiration.
