Gourd WIP

18 years ago

Hi Y'all! Here's my latest project. Need to grout it yet, any suggestions? I'm thinking good ole gray since there's so much color going on. I grow a few birdhouse gourds and sometimes they don't dry so perfect. This one had a "wrinkly" top so I cut it off and decided to make a little bowl for my DD. Notice the one trinket, it says "A Mothers Love Is.....too bad it says 'Unconditional' on the back. LOL, oh well, it was free!

    OH EXCAAAA USE ME!!! You l'il tease!!! I LOVE the gourd bowl, and I LOVE the utensil can, and DEFINITELY wanna see the backsplash. Perhaps you've shown us in the past, but I'm old and have a short memory. BEAUTIFUL, neat work.

    Ok I'll try. I don't do this often enough to remember how to do it. (Did that make sense?) Sending the whole album that is. Here goes.............Well that didn't work. How come I can't send the whole thing!?

    I love that backsplash! And the canister!
    How are you trying to send the whole album? You should use the address at the top of the page in the address bar on your main page. Dont bother with mine, theres nothing much in it...yet

    Very artsy gourd! I have a couple of those gourd bottoms I want to do someday. Kicked one out of the way out by the porch just today. Actually I probably have a couple HUNDRED gourds waiting for attention. We always grow way too many. I like what you've done.

    Very cool backsplash and gourd...you are so tempting me to do mine (backsplash that is)

  • 18 years ago

    Hey Wacky, thanks! I'll be sure to try it the way you told me too next time. You have lots in your album compared to mine. And some mighty cool stuff I might add! Thanks again!!!

    Hey Wacky! I remember your globe lights! I still wanna do those!! I just bought some glass blocks, so I'm gonna try those!

    never thought about putting mosaic on a dried goard, that's why I like coming here to get ideas. It is going to look great when you grout it.

    Still LOVE this little bowl, and wanna try using gourds some day. Your backsplash is so well executed - very neat job. I just love the broken tile look.

  • 18 years ago

    Thanks everybody!!! Got the bowl grouted but need to touch up yet. Did you notce the backsplash isn't caulked yet? Did ya notice the dates...yeah, it takes me awhile to finish stuff! And for the really sharp eye, did you notice the polymer clay in the glass cannisters? LOL! I'm so doomed!

  • 18 years ago

    I did notice the clay in with your other stuff!lol! I'm like, hey, what is purple to eat??? Must be art stuff!

    And by the way, I did a search before I started this project. Ladyronnie popped up with her gourd mosaics and that reassured me that it was okay to do one. They're really cute too! Thanks to you and all you others out there.
