AP17 Beauty in Motion
AWARD WINNER!
This sculpture is one
of my most favorite pieces thus far in my gourd art collection. Three snake gourds were used to create the sculpture
(it took me three years to find the three). The "snakes" were beautiful in shape and motion when I found them; therefore,
they needed no beautification other than coloring them with artprint brown ink and inlaying the black eyes to make them into
this piece of art. The base is a piece of 1" wood covered with desert sand and embellished with river and lava rocks.
The sculpture measures approximately 20" long, 24" tall, and 11" deep.

called Craftsman's Blend finish which was then heated to produce the effect that I wanted to create. The inside is finished
