It is that time of year again !!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Halloween gourd was fun to create, cutting it, cleaning the inside, painting with acrylics and using some yellow tissue to cover the openings from the inside and adding a light in the back, so yes, he lights up too. I made the banner with paper and used a Martha Stewart punch for the letters. Here he is below – glowing ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above are a few egg gourd ornaments that I just completed. I will have my ornaments at three locations this year : Eau Gallery and Fifth Avenue Art Gallery in Eau Gallie and of course at the Beyond Useless Boutique in Sebastian. I have a few new designs this year and I will also be posting on my Instagram page as they are completed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for visiting my page ! Leave a comment or question for me \u00dc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
