My Latest Gourd Project
Do you remember how our new puppy, SADI BEAR, chewed one of my gourds? So, it became THIS !
Well, guess what she did again?
Yep! Chewed the handle right off another one. This time though, I looked for what it could become. Do you see what I see?
In all fairness, you may not see it unless you are from Arkansas
or a big fan of the Southeast Conference.
I cut the bottom so it would sit flat and painted the inside black.
The team color came next using leather dye.
This wine cork is a perfect solution for the snout! I made sure to choose one from an Arkansas winery! 😉
A couple of wiggly eyes were glued in place.
Notice how the natural ridges in the gourd actually create an eyebrow on this side!
This is my favorite side, even though Sadi Bear broke part of it.
I feel like this project was totally home grown. The gourd was from my garden and the wine cork was from an Arkansas winery.
With a little leather dye and my crazy creativity, we are ready to Root for the Home Team!
Who is your favorite team?
