What do you see?

When you look at this ornamental gourd, besides the beauty?





I guess it depends on how warped you are?..hehehe!.. seriously though, I love warty/bumpy gourds! I see an oddly shaped one and how it could lend it's self to so many possiblities then add clay and wow, quite a combination. So what do you see?
I saw this...


And it was no picnic to get him to look like this!!!


But he is worth every bit of trouble he is putting me through...

Valentine Cuties

I just finished " little somethings " for the Harts site, they are little ornamental gourds
that I've embellished with all sorts of goodies, vintage and new. If you want to buy or just look, click on anyone of these two links, this one will take you to the home site : The Humble Arts, or the one below will take you directly into mine. They are called " Valentine Cuties ", here is my original ditty/poem that goes with them:
" Valentine Cutie "
Colors in red and pink,
Even black as ink !
Maybe a funny little frown,
Will be turned upside down !
By one tiny sweet beauty,
Called a " Valentine Cutie "
by F. Thompson
I'm not too sure if they are on the site just yet, but they will be sometime today. They are about 6-1/2" tall ,including the ribbons and tulle and hook, oh my!...with an 8" circumference, quite light and airy.
Clockwise from the top is "shush" as in be quiet!, then comes oh so "sleepy", next is "giggling" and last but not least is, such a " sad" little one.
They sparkle so very "prettily" when the light hits them, the camera didn't catch that, but you get more pic's of them and better shots when you go to the site.
My most favorite is the sleeping one, she photographed much better than the others ....those slackers... and she slept the whole time!
