The winner of this week is Debbie and Dan Easley

Debbie and Dan are a team in creating their wonderful characters. Dan does the carving and Debbie paints them. Debbie also paints the gourds into delightful pieces. In Debbie"s "spare time", she is a leader for our team and is most generous with her time. With what time is left,she often enjoys visits from her grandchildren. Below is a site to see how a block of wood becomes a character. It is amazing!

Here is what they have to say about themselves

My husband and I handcraft every one of a kind item in our shop. Dan does all of the carving, I value my digits too much to carve, and I paint them. In addition I paint and hand craft all of the gourd art that is in our shop. 
We have been married for over 40 years and have 2 children and 3 grandchildren. 
We are both enjoying retirement. Dan from a 30 year law enforcement career and I from teaching.
Thanks, again and we hope to see you again soon. 
Dan and Debbie Easley
