Santa
 

I am almost finished with this gourd, but wanted to show the photo before I varnish. Varnish sometimes causes too much shine when I photograph. It is a fairly large gourd, I am think 24 inches in circumference at its widest, and maybe 12 inches or so tall. We are going to put a little clip on light inside to shine through the star cutouts. Thanks for looking.

nicely done

how absolutely adorable. I am about to work on a door hanging of three Santa's for Christmas. long ago swap blocks. your gourd it great, keep making more!

Oh, my! He is adorable!

Wow-great job on that gourd!

I don't work with gourds too much...every so often I will get one out. People like them though.

Beautiful work

Oh, my ! What a great job !

Love it. Great job!

It's gorgeous! I believe gourd decorating is coming back, or already is. I've seen quite a few lately for the holidays. Have to say what little I can see, love your view.

That is gorgeous, I have a neighbor who paints on gourds and also rocks, she is very talented as are you. Love the Santa

GOURDgious !!! Do you grow and dry your own gourds or is there a source for purchasing them!! Just never had any luck drying any myself.

Your Santa gourd is just too cute. I have made things using gourds years ago like little bird feeders that were cute but nothing as awesome as yours but it was fun. I used my little Dremmel tool for cutting shapes or to cut them in half or whatever. I wished I had the talent to paint but I just don't have it but I sure admire those of you that do. Great job!

That is way cute

Absolutely beautiful!

outstanding !!!Great job

Good Gourd Almighty that is beautiful!

That is awesome!!

love it, very cute

I used to do a lot more painting on gourds several years ago, so still have some of that inventory. I have never had success with growing gourds. I do have to clean the gourds I have, inside and out...that's bad enough.

That is really nice work.

Wow! You are very talented. Looks great.

Beautiful.

You are such a great artist.

You are a lovely painter. I think Santa is adorable.

Just wanted to thank all of you who took the time to look at my photos and post such kind comments. Seems like this one was very popular. Again, I appreciate all of your comments.

That is very beautiful. You are very creative.
