Fine gourd shops art "Textures"

This fine gourd art shops vessel, entitled "Textures," was created using pyrography (a wood burning technique) and carving with a rotary tool. Before I began my creation, I cleaned this gourd inside and out. Many different textures were carved into the gourd enhancing the design. The gourd was then stained with brown, yellow, rose, and orange ink dyes. Also, gold metallic acrylic paint was applied to sections of the piece. The interior of the gourd has been left natural.

This gourd art has been finished with a protective matte spray. For decorative purposes - keep out of direct sunlight and weather.

Signed, this art piece is one of a kind.
