and thankful that my family and ourselves were spared. I do worry that
this is the beginning of an over-active spring.
I have not done much artwork the past few weeks. I tried my hand at
pyrography and filligree craving on a large 40" diameter gourd.
I have to harden my gourds because finding thick gourds locally for
carving has been difficult. I hope to try some more in the near
future but still my favorite activity with gourds is creating baskets.
If you want to see the orginal inspriration for this project, I have it pinned on my
www.pinterest.com boards. Pinterest is a really fun site for ideals and inspiration.
It contains just about anything a person could be interested in (food, photography, design,
clothes) and gives you the link to find the items.
Creating the frame box was the hardest part for me. I don't know how a person manages keeping
those 45 degree angles together properly so you can nail them. All of mine are off between alittle and alot. It is not painted in the pic. But I am in the process of putting a silver metallic paint on it. Right now I only have it primed. You will see the finished frame box on my next visit with a different canvas.
If anyone can instruct me on how to hold together 45 angles, I would appreciate your comments.
Please stay safe and see you soon.
Jackie, the horse gourd is beautiful! I love all your artwork but that is truly beautiful. Can I buy it?
