"Beaded" Suede
This gourd vessel was started in a class with Bonnie Gibson of Arizona Gourds. The finish is a textured paint which gives the illusion of suede leather. The beading isn't really beads, either, but it sure looks like it! The center embellishment is a ceramic cabochon in which I drilled a hole for attaching with round leather cord. |
The Water Maiden
Created for a recent art show with a "water theme," this water maiden is created from 3 gourds and is mounted on a painted gourd shard. She is 14 inches tall, pyrographed and painted with ink dyes and acrylic paints. Winner of 2nd place in 3D/Sculpture at the The Arts Colony "Water" Show. |

Blue Hummer
I enjoyed making a commissioned hummingbird design so much that I made another. This one is for sale here.

Gourd Gone Gray
This gourd was created for the "Black Gray White" show at The Arts Colony. It was a fun challenge for me because I love color. I am very happy with the result. Wave and filigree carving are highlighted by silver paint.
