    Love this ladies! Here in Canada back in the fur trade times our First Nations ladies would use discarded pipe stems from the Europeans and make beads with them too! You are carrying on a fine tradition. I too, like my ancestors look at things and see the wonderful possibilities!

    17.18 min Lady Gail said about the gorgeous flower bead: " Pretty like me!" 👍👌👏 Yes, yes, yes! I couldn't agree more! 💚
    Forever yours.

    Those are just lovely! I got all excited when you started filing the bones thinking you were going to make an articulated skeleton, like when you made the copper nail dancing man. Maybe next time?

    The Duncan’s come from Scotland. You have a unique gift from God to take the past and turn it into the present. You work so skillfully with your hands. My Daddy did too. He worked in marble and granite to make grave stones. He could make anything, just like you. I craft in a different way. But my work is more primitive and antique. We have traced our ancestors to Scotland and know the village from where they came. That is why I continuously ask for finds from Scotland to be made by you to purchase and acquire bragging rights across the pond for you to my family. My father is in Heaven now so that is why I would like treasures you find in Scotland to share with my family. Keep up the good work. I am watching from Somerset, Kentucky, Pulaski County, USA.

    How much did i enjoy this Gail and Alex. Can you see how wide my arms are spread...no, well believe me they are as far apart as can be.
    Pipe stems make fabulous bones and pretty beads. Using names and imprints and painting them in, keeps the history of the pieces intact too.
    What a perfect project. I wondered if at first you'd use the pipe bowl half as a scull. Which you could hang the bones and beads from. To make a little window charm...wind chime.
    A lovely project for anyone to achieve. Just painting and varnishing, for those that don't possess a kiln.
    One of these days, id love to invest in a kiln. Added to a list with a multitude of other things i would love to try. 😂
    A dedicated crafter usually has a very long list of, 'I wish i had'. 🤔 😉 I'm sure you both know that already. You have a wish list too. 😂 x

  • @melaniefisher8823
    @melaniefisher8823 2 роки тому

    I cannot even fathom the work and time that went into these.
    The pipe maker's are smiling, just think: they made these pipes and they were discarded, and then HUNDREDS of years later they were found and then turned into the most beautiful and useful things. Today it's "reduce, reuse, recycle ♻️" and you both have done this to the nth degree.
    I'm proud to subscribe to this channel, you're so inspiring to me. Thank you.

    I would apply acrylic to those you feel may continue to break. You could even fill in the one with the missing piece with a matched color acrylic resin. And the bees could be given wings and then resined. Just an idea. These are the most charming little creations I’ve seen in forever!! You do know that you are in a caliber all alone in your findings and art, right? Beautiful Ladies. ✌🏻🤍

    The swallow one is interesting. With the colour it is now a homage to a homage, embellishment and not erosion. Those skully sort of things would be good for Goth summer wear. I always associate that kind of stuff with red, black and silver which I would call 'winter' colours, but they look vibrant here. Another one looks like a large electrical resistor. They all look alright.
