JACKSON PATCH - NOV & DEC 2014

11/1/2014

Our next Jackson Library gourding on Saturday, November 8th.
I hope we have more gourdings this time, and that we can welcome a few new ones to our group. The techniques we will do are Air Dry Clay Faces on Spoons, and something fallish.  If you have something fallish to bring and share, or you can bring along something that you have been wanted to get to or have already started. For Lee and Christine, bring the supplies for the Open Coiling done on a cannon ball gourd. If you are coming let me know and I will resend the supply list, and hopefully Tammy can teach you two together on that rimming technique.
Supplies for the Clay Faces on Spoons.  
Spoons, any kind will do, leave as is or spray paint with rust-0-leum paint. I used aged copper, and Carrie used metallic bronze, both look good. I also drilled  a hole in the top of the handle to hang, but you don't have to. I am also going to bend the handle on some to make them into shelf sitters. Use your imagination on this Air dry clay or Kwick Wood epoxy. I buy mine at Menards.
Beads for eyes and mouth
Paint: Black to paint faces if you wan.
            orange  for nose   
            Antiquing paint to make them look old.
Please let me know ASAP me if you are coming or NOT  so I have an idea of how many gourders we will have.

 December 13th.  CHRISTMAS PARTY.

Bring something for a passing dish and munchies.
Exchange gift.  This can be something gourd related, gourds cleaned, embellishments, feathers, all ready finished gourd with your special talent... :)
We draw numbers to see who picks first. Its a really nice time. Hope the weather is nice so we can all enjoy the last of the year, then we meet again in Jan, 2015 weather permitting.
Thank you.

Patch Director
