Description
This is how the apple gourd looks after it is scraped.
You can then spray acrylic on it to make it shiny.
I don't have a finished apple gourd painted, but you can look and learn more about them at this site:-
http://kygourdsociety.com
I also don't know if you can eat them.
Thanks for all the comments on my gourds yesterday there are all types and varieties of them.
Added border and frame.
All postwork done in PSP9.
Any and all comments are appreciated.
Many hugs,
Susan~

Remarkable apple art (thought it were only Apple Macintoshes for that kind of art LOL)! Never seen it! Impressive work, Susan! hugs
Wonderful sculptured art in process! Bravo Susan!
well you taught me something today man! I so dumb about these types of things guess I am no way a country girl love it sis and thanks for sharing this !
These are fascinating! I'd like to have some hanging from our pine trees for the birds. They're so colorful. Thanks for the info.:o) CC
Oh boy Oh boy!! Are you going to go thru the whole process till we see the birds eating the seed? It would be a wonderful series my dear friend!!
Very cool. :o) That would make a very nice birdhouse. This makes my bird friends envious, I'm sure.
I bet some bird will be content to call this a good gourd home. wonderful capture Susan
Just how big is this thing anyway? I know very little about Gourds.. will have to do some catch-up.. Great shot and hope all's well.. especially you! Hugs.. Dave :^) V
Great apple art..I like only Apple Macintoshes..is it? (smile)V :)
Very creative photography, Susan - never thought about doing that after the gourd has been scraped, but it's an interesting approach. Looks like bite got taken from it - hope that was before the acrylic spray (O'
What an idea! I want one!!! Love this series, Susan.
real good shot
OOooh that's pretty & interesting!. Uuum presumably you scrape out the flesh from the inside too to stop it from going rotten. ;-) Great pic & info!!!!
what a nice idea ! thanks for sharing this interesting info ! Very well done ! My thoughts and prayers are with you ... wish you all the best Susan !
Ciao Susan !!! Thank you for your comment on my shot that brings me in your gallery !!!!! Very nice this shot, and a so lovely gourd !!! I dream to could work on gourds (pyrography) but unfortunatly in South of France, it's impossible to find them for this craftwork ! Superb work !!!
Neat pic Susan, but I am really dumb about this type of apple, if that is what it is. Hope your feeling much better now. V...Silkylady...

Gourd - What is that? I dont know, but the work you've done is wonderful Susan! I've looked at more of your images, and have to say that you do awesome work! I havent got the time to write on every image, because I'm going out to meet a friend that came from Norway just to visit me and the rest of my family here in Denmark. I'm so looking forward to see here again! But I will come back and write some more comments to you! Have a nice day Susan!
