Saturday 11th May will be our last meeting at library UNTIL Sept. thru Dec. of 2013. Hope everyone can make this last get together. ANY ONE is invited to WHERE EVER we hold summer gourding get togethers. Its usally at TAMMMY B house. So please try to attend those as well. This month we are going to learn to CRACKLE and jug saw carve vine leaves on a gourd. It will be tough by Andrea... THANKS ANDREA.
Supplies as follows: med. gourd clean and cut and cleaned inside. Only cut the gourd JUST BELOW the neck. This will give you room to trace on pattern of leaves, WHICH Andrea has made copies for us... THANKS... Paint outside gourd and inside before coming to class... we are using a dark green for the first application of paint, then using crackle and then a cream white color for the top color. Inside can also be painted dk green or black or what ever color you want. Paint brushes, or mop brushes, or sponge brushes - used to put crackle on with and paint color as well. So hope this is enough info on supplies, if NOT let me know and I will try to clear things up.
