Gourds are the perfect medium for me. I can carve them, use pyrography, paint, weave, dye or write on them. I can do tribal art, primitive motifs, cutesy stuff, patriotic themes, goth looks, or whatever suits my fancy. So far I haven't run out of ideas! Text and Photos Copyright Fayme Harper 2012.

Woodburning on Gourds
Once again I'm itching to do some gourd pyrography. I need to clean off my drawing table because I need a flat and secure surface for the wood burning tools. Can't have things sliding off when they are hot on the end. If you ever do woodburning you always have to be mindful of where the hot tips are. My burner has 2 tips that are hot at the same time. And I have cats so I always have to keep an eye on them too. If you have children underfoot be especially careful as they often grab without thinking.
