Giraffe Gourd

Four giraffe portraits are on this gourd. The background is carved away leaving the acrylic-painted giraffes in bas-relief. Each giraffe is surrounded by a background of mottled sky blue and tan in a roughly oval shape and framed by uncarved gourd, where the natural marks and blemishes show through the leather-dyed skin. Leafy branches are painted and pyro-engraved above each giraffe and around the opening. A 3 inch loose-fitting leafy lid is included with a 1/2 inch wooden bead handle. The top opening is approximately 2 inches in diameter. The gourd stands about 5 1/4 inches tall without the lid. With the lid, it stands approximately 6 inches; the gourd is approx. 7 3/4 inch diameter; 24 1/2 inch circumference. It is finished with acrylic varnish.

Vinca Periwinkle Vine Gourd

This gourd stands approximately 6 inches tall and has a 6 inch diameter and 21 inch circumference.  It is pyro-engraved, painted with acrylics and leather dye and finished with acrylic sealer. The leather dye and clear sealer allow the natural blemishes of the gourd's shell to shine through. It has dried lavender cotton stems coiled around the top. I carved openings around the vine's flowers and leafs so the black interior can be seen. The periwinkle flowers have also been carved.
