Countdown to The Feast of the Strawberry Moon

June 13-14 in Grand Haven, Michigan. One month to go! Actually, we have less than a month, as we are taking 10 days out to visit family in Texas.  There are a few pieces  to finish up, lots of tagging and packing to do.

Celtic Knot Gourd

This simple knotwork design has a big impact. Woodburned on a light colored gourd with a waxed finish.
