Wood Spirit Gourd Masks
Let our patterns spark your imagination today!
It’s gourd and pumpkin carving season around the studio. While cleaning up from one of my current gourd art projects, Basket Weaving, Braided Raffia Gourd Rims, I came across the leftover, cut-out section of gourd. As a wood carver and pyrographer I often create and use practice boards in my teaching. This small section of gourd seemed perfect for just that purpose.
Soon I had an acrylic under-painting with colored pencil wood spirit face worked up … but what to do with it. The face painting came out so very well that I didn’t want to just ‘take a photo then throw it in a box for storage’.
Some hot glue, copper foil, electric wires, vintage and damaged jewelry pieces, some thick cotton yarn, and a pair of old glasses quickly turned a practice gourd scrap into an Urban Warrior Gourd Art Mask.
