Well, I jumped into another art form--gourds!! Thru a friend of a friend, my sweet hubby bought my Christmas gift of 97 gourds and a variety of tools! I have a friend that is very involved in this art and has been enticing me with her wonderful projects so I thought I would add that to my list of things to work on for 2009! Well, since I received my gift before Christmas, I went to the December meeting of the Southwest Gourd Association with my friend and jumped right in! There was an ornament or small gourd item exchange as part of the evening, so I found a gourd that would work for what I had in mind and did up "Frosty the Sheriff Snowman". Since I had the paint out, I also did a couple of showmen for friends that I usually do ornaments for. Wow, I already did 3 gourds. Nothing fancy, but they worked out well. And one thing I have learned already is that I will be able to use a variety of my other art supplies on gourds. Frosty's nose is made out of polymer clay! I received a wonderful ornament with Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree on it. That was perfect for me as that has always been one of my favorite Christmas stories!
