Just added the Three Pelicans Gourd to my Etsy shop
Mosaic gourd
Just completed this mosaic gourd for the monthly craft show in the park. . . . next to the last show and I am ready for a break. Having been the treasurer for the club this year has really been an experience. Not that I am unfamiliar with “finances” but it has actually been a little more work and taken more time than I thought it would have taken. Anyway, the next to the last show is this weekend and I am ready for a break and a summer of building my inventory too. I just had so much going on this year my inventory was difficult to replenish. I also hope to get my Etsy shop back up and running for fall and winter, especially the holiday season. I do have so many ideas for new gourd designs and Christmas ornament designs too. So I am ready for uninterrupted creative time this summer.

Carved gourd. Painted with acrylics
For the holiday season which is right around the corner. Hard to even think about Halloween with the temps in the 90’s and heat index in the 100’s! Halloween gourds make so much sense here in Florida. There are no guarantees that October is a cool temperature month and the real pumpkins don’t tolerate the heat so for those of us that are not really keen on the fake pumpkins we see at the craft stores a real gourd is a great alternative !
