The highlights of this gourd are the inlaid turquoise cabochons surrounded by weaving and swirls of pine needles. This is a thick gourd that has been lightly textured. The multiple rows of coiling are created with pine needles and waxed linen. The detailed weaving near the cabochons is done with waxed linen. The gourd is meant to be viewed from many angles.

I have been creating art all of my life. Some of my earliest memories are of sketching in a tablet. I became an Art Specialist, sharing my love of art through teaching. I still teach adults to woodturn and create gourd art. I also work with fused glass. My sculptures often touch onto all these elements. I'm fascinated by natural wood burls and mottling of gourds.This keeps me always trying something new. I have been heavily influenced by the Southwest, and it creeps into much of what I create.
