Starting in February 2023, I began a new gourd series, cutting leaves from gourds, sanding the backs of each leaf, painting them, and then gluing them onto wood or bark.
Each of these pieces is unique. I consider each live-edge wood board and each piece of bark my canvas. Each canvas never to be repeated, never to be available again.
Above: Scroll saw. Cutting backing. Ready to glue bark onto the backing for stability.
