ONE OF MY GOURDS

OH! It is SO beautifuL! I LOVE it! I have gourds growing in my garden that I want to decorate later on.

Sorry, I just realized this is only for quilts. Mentioned gourd art in bio and member asked to see.

I think a lot of us like to see pictures of other creative crafts in the picture section and that is where you posted your pictures of your beautiful gourds. Thanks for sharing.

Your gourd is beautiful, thanks for sharing.

I think we post pix of almost anything here. You are very talented and so glad you posted the gourd.

This is the first gourd art I have ever seen. I like it.

Love your signature !

pretty gord! do you have to treat it so the paint project can last without spoiling?

Fun idea and beautiful art piece.

That is beautiful artwork there. Very innovative and the colours are just perfect. I love it. What paints did you use there. I assume they are acrylic, but can you give me the make. I used to have a ceramic shop so really am interested in this project.

I had never thought of painting gourds we have them here, now I have to try.

I'M TRYING TO SEND THE INSIDE OF THE GOURD. i PAINTED IT BLACK AND CLEANED THE BRUSHES ON IT WITH ALL THE OUTSIDE COLORS.
aLSO i HAVE 4 OF MY LONG HANDLED DIPPER GORDS.
HOPE THEY COME THROUGH.
I USE LUMINARTE AND LEATHE DY ON SOME OF THE DIPPERS

I haven't tried scenes yet

Those are really awesome!!!!

Beautiful work, love the long ones too.

Do you have to spray with a varnish to get that lovely sheen on them.

Those are beautiful gourds. I haven't painted any of the gourds we had before, I have made birdhouses and bird feeders out of them in the past.

No, it's part of the paint
Thanks all for kind remarks. I have more that I'll try to put on

These are pretty and thanks for posting them. I look forward to more!

Your gourds are beautiful. My son is a gourd artist, he uses them to make masks. Take a look at www.gourdmasque.com to see his work.

Your son's work is great, but something I've never tried to do.
