\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>These are new pieces I completed that are displayed at the Art and Antique Gallery in Eau Gallie for tonight’s First Friday, hopefully it will not be raining!<\/p>\n

The first gourd is a simple flower design that I drew on the cleaned gourd and then wood burned, sanded again and then stained with acrylic and properly sealed. The inside of that gourd was also sanded, sealed and painted.  The third gourd was started in a class but when I came home I  disassembled it except for the painted faux beads added some wood burning and repainted all the faux beading with acrylic paint. The wood skewers were painted and glued in the gourd and then added a free form weaving and  beads. Kind of a fun design. <\/p>\n

Now for some wonderful news ! Just received notice that my gourd doll “Bountiful Harvest” will be featured in the autumn issue of Art Doll Quarterly !!    \u00dc      So excited to have one of my art dolls featured in the incredible magazine again. To be selected is truly an honor because some of the most talented and amazing doll artists have been featured in Art Doll Quarterly magazine and to have my work among them is just so special.<\/p>\n
