Playing with letters, inspired by Joanne Fink's Zenspirations. www.zenspirations.com.

I used Copic markers for color. I realized after the piece was completed that my dangles are swaying a bit. I'll do another.

This was my very first gourd class. Maria Dellos was the instructor and the class was great. Thank you Maria. You can see more of Maria's art at www.mariasartcreations.com.
The gourds have the designed burned into the gourd, then we used inks, and paints to add color. A few turqoise stones on the lizard.

The second class was learning how to weave pine needles as a design element, around the opening of the gourd. Then using a variety of dried botanicals as embellishments. Thank you Arlene Zaloznik. You can see more of her work on her website at www.azbaskets.net.
