Good Gourd!!!

Imagine my fascination watching Dee try her hand at painting on a very unusual medium - gourds! We imported some special gourd inks from the USA last month. Dee has used pyrography to burn images of local bird life, on to the gourd, and she is now painting them. Amongst the colour palette we received is a powder that when applied, makes the colour underneath look metallic. This looks incredible on the Rainbow Bee Eater panel - she has captured the brilliant luminescence of their feathers exactly. There are four panels in total: Blue-faced Honey Eater, Rainbow Bee Eater, Blue-winged Kookaburra and Yellow Rosella. We grow the gourds on the levee bank and these are the birds that visit us there regularly. Dee still has quite a way to go - this is very much a work in progress, but it is shaping up to be a very special work indeed.
