This episode of Spectacular Seniors is about an amazing artist. She's been creative all her life, even as a child. But 20 years ago a trip to her husband's woodworking show changed her life. She purchased some engraving tools there and started to work on all kinds of objects, all custom orders. Now she has moved onto another unique art form using gourds. In fact, they are so beautiful they really should be in a museum, not the local gallery in Langley, British Columbia, a suburb of Vancouver. There is one picture below, but the ones she showed me were elaborately painted with cut-outs in the fragile shells. There was one with something like an embroidery pattern. I was truly blown away. Listen to what she has to say about her work.
