It is wild! We are led to what we love before we know that we love it :-)

Thank you Jodie and I myself did not know that gourds were great canvases until on a whim I planted some seeds and ended up with 70 gourds! Not wanting to pitch them I read up on what one would do with such a bounty and the rest of my life is history :-)

Thank you Helen :-) I am thankful for living in a world that provides me so many different mediums that gift me with hours of pure joy doing what is fun! I am appreciative that you like my bowl :-)

This is beautiful! How thankful the world is, that your flow takes you to creating something like this.

Working on my gourds is my therapy and I don't even think about patience .. there is a flow that I let myself be carried in which I am sure is true for any of us when we are expressing our creative nature ... there is a lot to be said for the cliché .. "being in the groove"! I love what you do also and I love the fact that you are so supportive

Thank you. This bowl is much bigger than the other blue one I have pictured here.

Gorgeous cobalt color. And the asymetrical opening is very pretty.
