Oh, I cried at the Mr. Biggles' blessing inside the broom. Surely this will be an incredibly powerful talisman, Ms. McConnell. Thanks for sharing this!!! Wonderful to watch the artistic process, and to see the crafting of the wood.

Her IQ must be up there. Heck, the IQ test probably wouldn't even accurately measure someone who can just master so many hands-on skills like that. Who knows? I was just thinking about how she has so many skills as well and its just dumbfounding.

This looks incredible! The number of hours this must've taken.... You have far too many skills for one person! You're truly a craftwitch!

yes and if she lived in 1800`s that broom would most likely sell very well

She's such a casual witch, I freakin' love it.

As a folk practitioner from Florida, the gator head is swamp witch perfection. Amazing.

Extraordinary as always, Christine! Happy Halloween!!!

I didn't expect to cry in a Christine video but here we are. Putting your intentions into it, makes it very powerful. It turned out beautiful.

Can we all appreicate that gator kiss for a moment? Like he swam away blushing! lol

A deeply heartfelt homage to Mr Biggles. Thank you for sharing it with us. It’s always breathtaking watching your creations come to life. Your talent is beyond remarkable. Wishing you Christine a Happy Halloween.🎃 🍁🦇

The man kissing the alligator impressed the heck out of me. The broom was nice as well. Lol

It’s not Halloween 🎃 season without a Christine McConnell video drop

Stunning as always. And the hidden memoriam is beyond sweet.

I'm sure you can see yourself that the broom you created is enchanting, but most of all I loved the secret compartment honoring Mr. Biggles. In animal medicine, alligator symbolizes integration and bat, rebirth. If your wish is for Mr. Biggles to come back in another body and he wants the same, that broom ought to seal the deal😊 Keep on shining, Christine, and thanks for sharing your magical art 💜

I always want to cry when you make mementos of your fur baby, it’s beautiful

I’m smiling because of all the likeminded people who appreciate the talented Christine too.

I always start out these videos thinking "Oh, I could totally to that." And then by the end I'm like, "Nope, never mind. I cannot. I shall simply watch in awe." My millennial audacity only goes so far. Lol! This is a beautiful broom!

What a beautiful tribute to your sweet beloved. 🧡🤎 Rest in peace Mr B, You were so loved.

Seriously, you are so talented. Even in a high budget witch movie, I can't find the broom with such intricate fashion. Yours win in every aspect

i really wish you were more than 90% of america's art programs. art class would have been phenomenal with your hands on experience with art and creating stories...you inspire me so much to want to play and create. thank you for you.

I am so impressed with your creativity. You hand sew, machine sew, paint , sketch, create tablescapes, are exceptional at photography, work expertly at woodwork, create magnificent lamp shades and you are an absolutely beautiful lady. I am so happy you have this house. It seems to really suit you and I know you will preserve this beautiful lady. I only just ran across you and I am so glad that I did. Your videos make me so happy. I wish the best to you and your husband. Can I assume that HE is Captive??? However, I don’t know what a captive is! I only know that I have my husband captivated!

That alligator looked more like a dragon breathing fire, very nice.🥸🎃👹

She's beauty and she's grace, she's the creepiest witch on internet space... Jokes aside, absolutely amazing work on that broom. It's original and beautiful.

Didn't expect to cry during this!

Watching one of your videos is like having this really satisfying meal of your most favorite food cooked in the most delicious way in a perfect environment with your best friends. You are so generous to share your creativity and process with us. There's a lot I admire with you and your work but I wanted to call out one that I was aware of almost immediately - your attention to workplace safety. As the video progressed, I was even more impressed. Good for you to model and discuss workplace safety. It's really important especially (I feel) for any influencers to be open about potential hazards and the steps, tools, and technique for deal with them.

Christine in her car, just exactly the way every Goddess - Witch should travel! Amazing as usual but then this is Christine ... need I say more!

Simply other worldly..... there are no words to describe your vision. We , mere mortals just get to watch your mind come to life.

Christine!!! I had my baby on Christmas Day 2021 and I was watching your videos late the night I went into labor! When you start posting your fall videos, it makes me so sentimental for that time in my life. I love that. Thanks for being a part of my universe. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

There is no better surprise than to see a Christine McConnell video drop. My spirit animal 🦇🕯️

Just blown away by that man kissing the swamp kitty. I know alligators are more docile but as an Australian, that freaks me out. A crocodile would be snippy snapping pretty quick.

As a Louisiana woodworker hobbyist, I love this! AND I'm really glad that you were being careful with that Black walnut dust. It can be pretty dangerous.

How is it dangerous -- I mean is it more dangerous than other types of woodworking dust?

@ericdoss1293

@@therealJamieJoy from what I've read, yeah most others. Hardwood in general isn't good to breath in, but it is mostly dangerous to animals unless you are blatantly unsafe with it. However, I just mentioned it bc the dust can release a toxin called jugalone. It can be used as natural herbicide. She protected herself very well with the mask she wore. It can cause skin irritation or if you breath it in, it can make you sick. I was just saying she did well, but I hope you make sure you clean it all up really well. I would hate to hear one of her cats got sick bc of an allergen or something.

Its Halloween, Its Christine, life is perfect 🎃

heavy broom with a content that could become the stuff of its legend among cats serving as familiars. exceptional work as usual.

I like how she teaches us how to make these incredibly intricate things as if we could come anywhere close to how she makes them 😂 love to watch it though !

Beautiful craftsmanship as usual. The tribute to Mr. Biggles was so touching. I strongly felt the presence of my beautiful Scorch, who I lost in 2007, while I was watching this. I am always so excited to see a new video from you. Thank you...

Christine completes my Halloween 🧹🍁

Truly amazing. It came out beautifully and the letter to Mr. Bigles is just so touching. Plus tips on safety when using tools. You just cover it all. Happy Halloween 🎃

One of the things I love about dateing your stuff is down the road you can see the process of your art or crafty things.

Yes!! I have been waiting for a new video. Thanks, Christine I love your content.

3 minutes ago and I'm excited to see what she's doing ❤

And I'm crying. Losing a most precious familiar is unspeakably hard. What a beautiful way to honour your relationship.

How can one woman be a genius at absolutely everything she creates!!! She blows me away!

It's amazing what you create with a piece of wood! Especially love the bat on the handle and the way it looks like the gator is eating the broom. Teared up with the addition of things that belonged to Biggles. Can't wait to hear all about your outfit!

This turned out absolutely spectacular Christine! When you said you were going to incorporate the "Swamp Kitty", I wasn’t sure what to expect, however; the finished product is truly beautiful (the added sentiment for Mr. Biggles is a precious touch). Thank you for sharing your amazing talents, God Bless! 🤗💜🙏🏻

I'm so sorry for mister Biggles but I'm also glad that you're able to preserve the memory in such a concrete way.

When Christine uploads it's a good day for sure

How festive !!!

Christine, what a awesome broom!!! What a lovely memorial fur the fur baby!!!

I'm almost speechless...that little hidden wish and blessing for your fur baby got me.❤ Everything you touch is gold Christine. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🐈‍⬛🕷🦇❤

So incredible!!! It brought a tear to my eyes regarding your beloved cat's toy, etc. incorporated into the broom. Your design of the alligator and bat looks magnificent!!! Happy Halloween to you. 🦉🐊🎃

Realistically, I think it's because Christine works on a sustainable model wherein YT is really a vehicle for her Patreon which is one of the only Patreons that I think is worth the money. This way she also is able to better protect her intellectual property as an artist and overall content creator and it also probably allows her to avoid negative outcomes that often come with fame on wider platforms. It's an avenue that I, personally, really respect.

I love the Broom design and can't wait to see what's next.

oh my gosh i just bawled over mr. biggles, what a true gift it is to have the love of a cat

When I see that you've posted a new video, I get that same excited feeling of anticipation I'd get as a kid when the TV announced an upcoming Saturday Night Special Presentation of some Disney movie! You never fail to excite!!

Everything else aside.... "Cutest critters the swamp had to offer." Cue the Gator

Your imagination, creativity, artistic ability, story telling, and videography is why I love watching. I am so glad I found your videos some year's back. Thank you for sharing and making our days brighter.

By far, one of the most epic brooms I've ever seen, which I never thought I'd say, but if any broom could fly or sweep away evil spirits, it would be this one!

How precious that you made a memory of Mr. Biggles part of the broom! I know he's purring!

Okay first, I teared up on Mister Biggles memorial pieces... and second... what an incredibly exquisite piece of work! Throughly enjoyed the process!

I collect witches brooms but I have nothing that compares to yours! All I can say is " wow! You did it again!"

As a native Floridian, OBSESSED.

Always happy to see your videos, great ideas,and you are a great talent,an amazing woman

So excited for this. Everything looks spooktacular, as always

Yes yes yes!!!! Always so happy when a Christine McConnell video is up!!

The person casually smooching an alligator😭 Gorgeous work, and the tribute to your cat was so sweet.

Yeah! That was a first !

Really nice job on the execution and also it shows some cool creativity. Black walnut is definitely one of my most favorite woods. I am a professional woodcarver and black walnut is my favorite choice in woodcarvings. I've never powercarved it though. I just use chisels and gouges. I can't imagine the amount of black walnut dust you must have now in your work space. My body just really doesn't like that dust at all. In the past when I did woodwork other than carving with that wood, that dust residual would jack my sinuses up bad for a good while afterwards. One advantage black walnut has when carving with hand tools is the back bevel of carving tools burnishes the wood and kinda gives it a smooth polished feel without sanding at all. The wood grants some of the best crisp fine details of any wood in my opinion. I planted some black walnut trees on my property just so I can judiciously prune those trees seasonally to get wood for carving. Anyway, it has been really cool to see this project.

Is there anything you CAN’T do?! Phenomenal😍

Christine, what a piece of art!!!! Beyond!!! And as a Witch I am already dreaming about a broom made by your talented witchy hands

Wonderful!!! Such a wicked broomstick Christine!!! Love that "Swamp Kitty" sculpture.

Absolutely beautiful and priceless.

Now you need to be photoshopped with it riding past the moon with your angel boy alongside you! Beautiful ending! ❤

So so happy whenever a new video from you pops up! High quality, amazingly creative content as always 🤗

All Hail Queen Christine, the true Supreme! The tribute to your familiar is such a beautiful touch. I cried when I saw that! I know what it's like to have a beloved family member pass ❤

the homage to Mr Biggles broke my heart. 😢

I caught this episode after 1 hour of it being posted and I thought: sweet! I might be the first one to comment. But there are already 113 comments. That just goes to show how amazing your work is Christine! Beyond excited to watch this new video!

This is such an incredible work of art, Christine! And I adore the personal touches. I teared up when you talked about your sweet familiar kitty, and placed all those pieces in the broom. Just beautiful all the way around!

🥺😭 Every time you talk about Mr. Biggles I get all weepy! It's just so sad!! What a loved kitty he was. I hope you meet again in the next life!

Am so glad to have found you again! My son and family have BLACK Walnut trees and he makes Coffee Tables and other small tables, and his wife is able to print or paint anything on them imaginable! It is a wonderful wood that grows in Plattsburgh NY area. They moved there several years ago, and he is into construction but does this on the side to sell as his wife sells items on her own, so he helps her with making the tables and other items. to sell out of this wood. The brooms would really make a new type of items really when they have sales. I do not live so close to them. But truly loved watching and seeing how they are made. I know they would make the best of brooms would love one myself!. Thank you, Christina! You are so very talented! You live closer to my area really.

Walnut wood nerd and fan here: A thickness planer would have helped make that glue-up SO much easier. Also curious what you used for work holding. So many compound angles from carving should make it really tippy as you're doing such fine work with the Dremel. Also super surprised that the Alligator eye didn't blow out between jigsaw and carving. That knot looked like such trouble!

Living out my cozy, spooky dreams through this channel. 🎃

always incredible! I smile the whole time at the skill, attention to detail, and craftsmanship. Love the Cadillac!

Love the alligator’s details! As a Floridian I absolutely love it! Beyond amazing and incredibly beautiful!

Beautiful, astonishingly and utterly beautiful !! You are wonderful, I am always at awe

Absolutely incredible! There isn’t anything you can’t do! 🔥

I knew when I saw the title it wasn't going to be just a - find a twig and tie on some scruffy bristles. Christine, you never every disappoint! You are the most incredibly talented and absolutely the most captivating person I've ever seen, as well as gorgeous! Your patience and attention to detail are unparalleled...You and I couldn't be more unalike - I am 72 years old and dress in an LL Bean/countrified kind of way and yet I love love love watching your videos and can never wait for the next one!

She is beautiful and that little waistline is so rare to see today, especially if you are beyond teenaged years! I’m inspired first by that…then on to her extreme creativity…that mind-to be born with that- WOW inspired by an alligator on vacation to make a broom 🤭I have got to start looking at things differently!

Saw you in Salem tonight! Hope you had a fun time! The broom looked awesome!

Such amazing videos. So love ❤️ all of them!!

Wow! That’s incredible! The gator looks like a fire breathing dragon with the corn stalks at the end! Amazing! Happy Halloween 🎃

Love the incorporation of the memories into the broom.Thank you so much for the info on the respirator, I was actually looking through the notes and comments to find out about it when I heard you start talking about it. I am indeed trying to find something for fumes and dust and wearing glasses the usual masks just fog my sight. I'll look into one of these.

There is never a moment in my life when I am not obsessed with Christine.

Best bet for rotary tools is to use some carvers tape which you can cover tips of fingers if need be... And wood burning is a great natural way to deep colour those lines before a glaze

I feel like her videos are from another world. They are amazing.

Everything you make is amazing, but this has to be my absolute favorite! The detail, the hidden compartment with so much meaning... I am in awe of how your mind works

Christine, you are such an amazing talent! The thing I like most about you is your love for animals. You are a beautiful and special soul.

Thank you for the shout-out on the Miller PAPR! We love your videos! We are glad you are enjoying the PAPR for your projects! When you need new filters or shields let us know :)

Incredible! You truly have a talent! I am not sure I could do this detailing, but it might be fun to try! I jsut got my own hand drill carver and I ahve the Drexel with extension too! Love it! Thank You! I go back and watch your older videos too - you are a treasure!

"Swamp kitties" HAHAHAHAHA
