I love Maureen Hawthorn's Gourd Art. She also creates gourd pieces for bead artists. Maureen writes, " Small round gourd. Continuous scene around the gourd includes lily pad, dragonfly, trout, turtle & cattails. Detailed pyrographic design (woodburned). Painted with transparent layers of acrylic paint. Sealed with gloss polyurethane sealer. Signed, original art. Gourd egg comes with stand that I crafted from clay and added two tiny little leather leaves."
