I have two large gourds that I plan to make into miniature houses. I did not want to paint them , now I can see how beautiful they look naturally. I may use a high gloss verathane to keep all the details. I really like that you left it a natural color. I have two large gourds that I plan to make into miniature houses.

I have never even thought of growing gourds, since you can't eat them. Now though, I am looking forward to trying some this summer just to make something pretty. Thanks for sharing! Its beautiful!

Tanya Walton--Yes, you can eat them when they are young and green, but historically people have made household items with the dried ones and they are a great craft material, too, including birdhouses. pumpkinsx3--Ha, yes, very chic! LisaPie--I have some seeds from last year that I don't think I gave a good enough chance. I'll try again this year--I am so jealous of all your luffas. Michelle--I'm going to keep trying. They are so fun to find dangling from the vines. Phyllis--I know! This is really making me hanker for the growing season to get going already. Alice--Yes, I think I'll try that. I would love to grow my own broom! So awesome! Ann--I wish I remember the name or manufacturer, but it's been ten years probably. Try searching for "pineapple damask" wallpaper and you are sure to find something very similar. (I love it, too--never get tired of it, like so many papers). Jean--Shoe polish, never thought of that. I'll try that, thanks! Susieee! Mac--I've never had enough to cook them, but I wish I did, your soup sounds so good! rowena–Thank you!
