These gourds demonstrate  experimental techniques
These are three different views of the Sunning Log along with an unfinished (first photo) view of the turtles.

This gourd was created from several gourds.  The log is a piece of gourd that was cut to fit the large gourd.  The only other additions to the main gourd are the turtles that are egg gourds.  I used paper clay to do the legs and heads of the turtles.
Butterflies and Bunnies has nine different bunnies and many butterflies!
Since this gourd was so thick, I was able to do inlaid glass work on the wings.
