Portfolio - Embroidery on Gourds

I love working with gourds.  I saw Lynette Dawson's work on the Internet and thought I'd give embroidery on gourds a try.  Here are the first and second attempts.  The designs are from "Form-A-Lines".

Work In Progress

May 2007 - I took an on-line class with Lynette Dawson.  Below is a practice gourd with a similar pattern to Lynette's.   I think I'll be adding some water lilies to the sides.

Ta da - here's the finished Riverside Bucket for class.
