Gourd Inspirations

My gourd inspirations come from finding beauty in Gods creation of nature, rocks, dried beautiful leaves, aged trees, bark, twigs and gourds.
I was introduced to gourds as a canvas for art creations four years ago. I will share some of my inspirations as we go.
The gourd on the left was done in a class by Judy Moody. I was especially happy with my dolls ragged shawl. I create a lot of gourds with a southwestern influence. This gourd was made from a banana gourd for the body with a small gourd for head and pot.
In my next post I will share more about the gourd from field to canvas.
