Christmas is quickly approaching and I don't feel ready! (And surely, I'm not the only one!) This year I tried a few new creative endeavors one of which included working with gourds. Below is a "birdhouse" gourd that we grew from seedlings my mother started. The gourd has been washed , sanded, waxed and decorated. I thought it turned out quite nice. It is to be a gift for my massage therapist, Daniel. I've been seeing Daniel for over twelve years. His totem is the bear - hence the bear fetish on the gourd.
