Have you seen some of the ones where they cut pieces like applique and build them up for three deminsional patterns? They are amazing

The Pained Gourd
As Promised, here is a gourd all painted. I Have already antiqued it and all that is left is to varnish. Here are a few photos. If you check my bog, I have done a kinda Tut on it from beginning to end.
The last two pics you can see how mellow the fruit looks after the antiquing.
