Oil Paints on gourds?
28 Replies
I hope there is someone who has painted using OIL PAINTS on Gourds a number of year's ago, as I would like to know if the gourd absorbs this medium eventually? I am a painter, using acrylics, but…Continue

Quikwood vs Apoxie Sculpt
1 Reply
I prefer Quikwood over Apoxie Sculpt when sculpting on gourds (or cypress knees). My profile picture, and my others with sculpting on it, are done with Quikwood (no "c" in the spelling). The crystal…Continue

Hi Christine,
The beak on the curlew was done with a brass rod of an armature and then covered with Apoxie Sculpt. The beak is about 6" long.

Judy Carter said… Hi Christine, thanks for your kind comments. I have not used "Dip & Drape" but would like to give it a try sometime. I usually scout the remnants bins at all the fabric stores and find material that have good drape to them. I attach the material at the neck/cuffs, etc. with 2 part epoxy since I can hold it in place until it "takes." For the rest of the garment, I just use straight pins to hold folds and drapes and then again use 2-part eposy (little daps on a toothpick) and attach the "valleys" of the drapes to the gourd. If I do it right, I can use a small enought dab over several spots and it doesn't bleed through to the outside of the material and show. Hope that made sense!

I like your gourds as well. You can really handle a brush and get so much expression.

Stevi Hackenbruch said… If you DO RV on over to the Wurtz festival, let me know! We're in Yuma at that time, and we could Jeep (not the RV!) over. I haven't been to that one in a couple years, so could "make" myself go again!! :)
Heart warming story of "Brother". He's no doubt loving a non-hunting life!

Yeah, we sure miss our beagle! We had him for over 9 years, then he got a very bad back injury and we had to let him go...
Right now, we live full time in an RV, so once we decide to stop traveling (we do the AZ-in-the-winter thing, and have been going to WA for the summers, but now that we're retired, who knows?) we will get another Beeg.
Glad you like my gourds! I'm trying (not so patiently!) to find/ figure out a program to make my pix smaller...since i got my Mac, i can't send new ones, cuz i can't reduce to less than the allowed size. Ah well, someday!!
Thanks again, and glad to have you as a friend! Stevi

All I did was cut up a gourd that didn't sell. It has much more potential this way.

You know about the hundredth monkey, right? Thanks for the compliment! I'm sure yours will be just as good, just different!

Ahhh Chris! You are good!!!!! I noticed I don't use any water hardly at all. If the clay is moist coming out of the package it works great. Plus I work fast.
