GourdLady (G)


I've always dabbled a little with pen and paint,
but a few years ago, I saw some painted gourds
at a town craft fair and thought to myself,
"I can do that."

The designs were simple.
Smiling Santas with protruding bellies.
Southwestern vases,
bird houses,
flowered bowls,
and long necked geese.

So...
I went to the local orchard
and bought a trunk load of gourds.
But I wanted to do something
different than the folksy yard art
that I had witnessed.

And this is what happened:





So,
if I'm not blogging,
I might be "gourding"....
But- chances are-
I'm probably napping!
