Hobbies

Today I am going to show you one of my hobbies thought it would be a chance ,seen as concreting is on the cards.I paint gourds which are a member of the pumpkin family,our neighbour Damita gave us some seeds at the beginning of our first summer and you can see the result "Great"arn't they so we turn them into bird houses,David technical man drilled holes in them emptied the seeds out and I painted them ,maybe they will sell as a cool unusual pressie family and friends like them so you never know.The vines they grow on can get as tall as tree's so if you decide to have a go make sure you have lots of room

Drying the Gourd out.

Sand and undercoat them.

Then add the detail .

Give a few coats of varnish and there you go finished.Hope you enjoy the topic
