Adventures with Gourds-Using texture medium

As is typical of a person with ADHD, I have many interests and hobbies. Okay, so some refer to it as having the attention span of a flea. That doesn't make me a BAAAD person. (yes,I listened to KIX in my misspent youth) The beauty of having a wandering mind is when I can link some of these hobbies and interests together. This is a good example. I used to be a cake decorator years ago. Then,when I became interested in gourds, I found a way to use what I already knew,in a different medium. I found this stuff at the craft store called texture medium. It looked just like cake icing. So, I broke out the old decorating bags, and used a technique called "brush embroidery" on cakes,except on a gourd instead. Click here for the complete tutorial.
