Sunflower Gourd, from my garden, sign on back says Apartment for rent.
The gourds are fairly tough shelled, bleached, painted with white and decorated. They are sealed with a spray acrylic and have holes in the bottom for drainage. I am planning on selling them at a craft fair in May 2011. They will go for about $20-25.
I do plan on doing more artistic ones. Such as the Santa below, but the cost will be much higher due to the time involved in painting.
These are fun and I have seen so many ideas, including cottages and woodburned ones that are unique.
