It was just a gorgeous Midwest summer day yesterday. Normally, we get the humidity. Not yesterday, 70's low humidity and just down right pleasant. (Yes, you guessed

I settled down for some gourd burning. I've been working on dragonflies on the birdhouse gourds lately. A friend had made a request, and I was curious to see what I could come up with. I've got some great iridescent pulvers that help with that mystical shimmering quality a real dragonfly has. Below are the beginnings of some barrettes. I've used a martin 
gourd for these.
They have a thicker shell and the natural curve follows the curve of the barrette.
gourd for these.
They have a thicker shell and the natural curve follows the curve of the barrette. Today...some more burning and I may get out some dyes and stains.
Happy Creating and Smiles to All,
