Carving a Witches Broom - From the Mind of Christine McConnell 

It just doesn't feel like Halloween without a Christine McConnell video. This is such a treat!

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.

I never understand how you produce videos that take the creative process for so many skills and make them so effortlessly eery and gorgeous.

I really wish your Netflix show had another season, it’s been a favorite of mine ever since it came out

Extraordinary as always, Christine! Happy Halloween!!!

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.🎃 🍁🦇

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

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

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.

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.

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 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!

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!

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

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

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

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!

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.

Its Halloween, Its Christine, life is perfect 🎃

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

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

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. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

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 !

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

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!

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

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.

You have NEVER ceased to Ah-Maize me Christine!! Absolutely priceless, and that 'private Mr. Biggles only' note....made me cry! Richard

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.

Christine completes my Halloween 🧹🍁

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...

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!!

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.

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. 🦉🐊🎃

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

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

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 🎃

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! 🤗💜🙏🏻

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.

Just discovered her. How does she not have over a million followers?!

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. 🙏🐈‍⬛🕷🦇❤

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

The dress at the end is perfection

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

So excited for this. Everything looks spooktacular, as always

Didn't expect to cry during this!

🥺😭 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!

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.

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

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

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

Oh my God - the momento mori of Mr Biggles has me crying. What a beautiful thing to do,Christine. He is with you always.

When Christine uploads it's a good day for sure

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

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

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!

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!

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

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

Beautiful work! The swamp witch vibes are immaculate, and incorporating your kitty's memory was a beautiful touch. Thank you for the tip about the dremel pedal. Ill be ordering one once the post-Christmas shipping crazy calms down. Woodcarving is a hobby I want to pick up, and having an extra safety would absolutely help.

A-MAZING! You WOW us every year, Christine! Just gorgeous work!❤

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

This woman is immeasurably underrated.

Any witch would be proud to have you make them a broom. You are a very talented woman

I absolutely love the treasures you added to your broom! 💙

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

Absolutely beautiful and priceless.

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

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

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

I cried a little when You put Mr Biggles' and Your hair together and I could hear Your voice tremble. I remember once You have painted a stunning self portrait and You depicted the kitty waiting for You on the other side. I was watching with my sister and we were literally bawling our eyes out. Your art always makes me emotional for different reasons. ❤

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!

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

Omg, Christine! Your talent is RIDICULOUS

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 ❤

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.

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

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 :)

I really appreciate the safety warnings. I never thought about the foot pedal, but it is a great idea. I know what I'm going to get my hubs for Christmas now.

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

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

I’m glad I got to see a couple of videos the genius that is Christine.

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

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

Amazing creation! You're so incredibly talented! 🎃

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

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

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

Christine… you blow me away, every single time. Thank you so much for sharing your creations with us. You’re so inspiring and equally so affirming to all us weirdos! HAPPY HALLOWEEN SPOOKY QUEEN!

This is an amazing piece of art! I enjoyed every second of it! thank you!

Putting all those mourning trinkets into the broom was such a special moment in the video ❤. It's so hard to loose a special pet and it's always beautifull to celebrate their lives with little rituals like this. This way we an feel close to them and remember them. I got my boys pawprints tattooed, and I look at them every day. The broom turned so incredibly beautifull and with this it's even more special! Also: YES to the warning with loose objects around rotery- tools. When I was 12 I got my hair caught in a kitchen mixer while baking. Do not recommend AT ALL, lol

I absolutely love what you included for your friend Mr. Biggles so beautiful 🖤💜

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