Two New Wire Wrapped Pendants

With all the kerfuffle over Etsy getting rid of their chat room, a lot of us are heading over to the Zibbet chat room.  So today I listed 2 new wire wrapped pendants in my Zibbet shop, which you can see here: Vespertine
If you want to buy something from me and have a preference of one shop over the other, I can list the item in whatever shop you shop from. I'd rather do that than lose a sale.

Gourd Workshop

Yesterday in the mail we got a new gourd saw we've wanted for a few years. And boy what a difference it makes. Up till now I've been doing all my cuts either with a utility knife or a hacksaw.

So I tried out the new saw today and I cut out a fairy house and a rain stick and part of a lamp shade that I started years ago but grew weary of all the hand cutting. It's amazing how often I need to cut a gourd, and the saw has a fine blade and a course blade that handles even tight corners. So today we had a friend over and between the 3 of us worked on the fairy house, a rain stick, a lamp shade, a drum, a salt cellar, a canteen and a jewelry box. I'd say we made some pretty good progress.
