My gosh, I have just seem some of the most beautiful platters in my life! I love these!

I was perusing Facebook and found the link to these on the Easy Wood Tools time line, you can see the actual image and caption at Easy Wood Tools Facebook Page.

There is something about these that would make me reach really deep into my pockets and pull out some hard earned money and purchase these, at all costs! I am hooked! Love em!

I saw those, too. Each "bead" is hand painted! Awesome Talent!

You gotta be kiddin, each bead is done by hand, that is a labor of love no doubt. It has a Native American flare to them, and I love Native American art, these really appeal to me.

Here's a link to the guy explaining a little about how it was done. Also, there is a link in the discussion to a multipart video demonstrating the process (by a different turner)

Thanks Lew!

For me that is way way way too much  micro work standing ( stooping really) in one place for way to long. 

This is someone with amazing talent and WAY too much time on their hands.  I would never have the patience to paint all those beads.
