Sea Turtle Gourd Art, Handmade Vase, Rustic Centerpiece Table Decor, Handmade Gift
This is a unique piece of handmade table decor made from a real dried gourd. The artwork features a pretty sea turtle swimming gracefully upward. Gentle swirls represent the water as the turtle happily glides through the sea. The artwork is drawn by hand, using wood-burning techniques. I add texture using a stippled technique, carving into the gourd. Translucent stains and waxes enhance and help to reveal the natural beauty of the gourd shell. I leave the inside of the gourd in its' natural state because it helps to remind us that this is not a piece of manufactured plastic, but a real vegetable!
It may be surprising to know that this rustic table vessel began as a seedling on a farm! I cut the tops off and clean out the middle just as you would a fresh fall pumpkin. A carved piece of gourd art makes a unique addition to your table decor and a wonderfully unique gift! They look lovely just sitting by themselves, but you can add some dried or faux flowers for fun. Keep in mind the gourds are dried, and therefore very lightweight. If the flowers are a little top-heavy, you can just place a rock or random household item in the bottom for some extra weight and stability.
