Bumpy Gourd!
This goofy little gourd is looking for a home and would be a fun decoration for Halloween.
Silly in pink, this guy will be content anywhere...on your desk, bedside table, display shelf, or even perched atop a candlestick!
He measures about 6 inches in width and 8 1/2 inches in height (including his grapevine stem.)

Meet the Maker
Hello, my name is Heidi and welcome to my shop.
Everything here is handmade and I often reclaim unused items, and/or create with bits of nature, such as leaves, twigs, or bark.
For nearly 10 years, I've dyed and printed with local plants and have enjoyed the mystery of how these plants, from my backyard, color fabric and paper in such an unpredictable and seemingly magical way.
In addition to printing from nature on fabric and paper, I use gourds from the garden, old Christmas bulbs, and a multitude of used items as part of a unique ornament or object. Mixed media creations, these turn out to be, often with paper clay or paper mache added to complete them. Oh, and I love to crochet, especially granny squares.
Thanks for stopping in and I hope you see something that makes you smile!
How it’s Made
The bumpy gourd grew in a Wisconsin garden from a seed,.
I then dried (drying time varies, but generally takes at least 6 months) and cleaned the gourd.
Next I added paper clay, to form his simple features and then, paint and a sealant.
Lastly, I made a stem. I took a bit of grapevine, wound it around a stick, then glued it on top of this guy's little head.
