Ahhh it is December, the very last month of the year, and it sure did go quickly.\u00a0 And here in Florida today it feels like summer!\u00a0 We have had rain every morning and around 8 am the sun comes out and steams everything.\u00a0 I am sure the plants are loving this tropical weather but I would like it just a little cooler. \u00dc<\/p>\n

At this time of year in the studio I am a little tired of the color red!! LOL, too many Santas I guess, so for a change of pace – I decided to start some gourd ornaments.\u00a0 Here is one that\u00a0 is a wood burned design on a small pear gourd, a partridge in a pear tree, I burned the image in the gourd using my Colwood pen with a general detailing nib, and then used my shading nib.\u00a0 In between I\u00a0 lightly sanded the image and then applied a stain.\u00a0 The stain was a little darker then I wanted it to be but I plan to apply the metallic acrylic glazes.<\/p>\n

\"Partridge<\/a>

Partridge in a Pear Tree<\/p><\/div>\n

So yesterday I began adding a little color to this ornament with the metallic glazes.<\/p>\n
