MOSAIC GOURD

stained, pyroengraved, pine needle coiling

This is my first attempt at staining gourds and using pine needles to embellish.  I purchased gourds of all sizes and will be painting, staining, pyroengravaing,  and embellishing them.  I'm enjoying experimenting with a new art form.

COPPER FEATHER GOURD


This gourd has a mahogany stain and is embellished with leather, feathers, and copper.  The natural imperfections in the gourd and the stain make it look like old leather.
