"Face Gourd"



I love to work on gourds, all things natural are just a wonder to me. Mother nature is a true artist the world she creates is just outstanding. It is done with a technique called pyrography, which is burned on with a very hot iron. The smell as you burn is like sitting at a campfire which is very relaxing to me. The character faces are burned the whole way around the gourd. Then sections are stained with leather stain for definition. Clear coated for durability and ease of cleaning. I use them for bowls or I love to add a potted plant to the inside with a plate or water catcher at the bottom. It is a truly wonderful and unusual decoration. This gourd is now for sale at my eBay store, check the link is at the top of the page. Enjoy your day and keep watching.

Verde Vase




First I would like to apologize for not be a good blogger. Things have been so busy lately, not complaining, I just have been in need of time for everything else. Spring has come to Pittsburgh, and with spring as everyone knows the grass needs cut, the borders need work, etc. This year I also needed to attend to some medical needs which are now done, and all being well stay done. So back to business. The Verde vase above was purchased the same day I put it out, it is a beautiful piece and as all my work I will miss it, I am happy it went to a wonderful home, Thank you Carol, enjoy!
