Super excited to share the project for the October Meeting. It is a small gourd night light.
You will learn lots of different skills in this project. Wood burning, how to make a “cut out”, Carving a channel in a gourd. We will use ink dyes for the color.
You will need to supply your own gourd. This gourd happens to be 8′ tall and 5.5″ wide. Any shape will do! A supply list will be sent by email and also posted on the October Project page.
Does everyone have a dremel type tool? And a wood burner? I suppose you could use an Identi pen instead of a wood burner.
Also, you may want to “practice on a shard how to cut out a shape in a gourd. I will send the bits I used in my micro carver.
Also, start practicing your wood burning skills.
Before I start ordering supplies, I need for each of you to RSVP “YES or NO” if you will be coming on October 11. This meeting will be at the PLACITAS SENIOR CENTER.
