This is the latest in my gourd work. A friend gave me a couple of gourds that he grew and also cleaned on the outside. The finished piece is about 6 inches tall. I cut it out with my mini electric jigsaw, painted it and then a couple of coats of poly.
Karrie and her friend Billie and Billie's baby Meila came out today and we went to the Church's rummage sale and then to downtown Lemont for the taste of Lemont. It didn't seem to be too successful. Few people and few vendors. We went to one of the restaurants on Stephen street for lunch and now the girls are back on their way.

Audrey! This is absolutely lovely! A masterpiece! Did you take a workshop at The Center (i forget) or did you just start doing this yourself. I remember the other one you brought to class (leaves) - yes, maybe it was from the class you took. Now I'm answering myself!
Guess I won't throw out my old gourds yet!
Very pretty. I'm amazed at what you create - that you can take something and see another beautiful object within.
I took 3 classes at the Center. The first one I made a birdhouse that was pretty simple, the second was an ocean drum and the last class is where I made the autumn leaves that was sold at the Church auction.
