Tile Table Day

The new project for this Art Day was tiled tables. We're just starting on those, and we're also finishing up our gourd projects. There are a lot of gourds left if anyone is still inspired!

Catherine's gourd is lovely.



Rick C. models his, indicating a certain ambiguity toward it.



And Laura made hers into a fantastic lamp. She's gonna mail me a pic, right?

Titus actually gilded his; I need to get a pic of that also.

We have a table base that we rescued from the farm. I ran to the hardware store for spray paint, and Rick C. got the base painted.



Renny and Cindy brought a base also, and got it painted.



Lori and Cindy got to work on Lori's gourd, which is going to be a percussion instrument. We're copying the design of one I had.



Liz looks on.



Here you can see the network of cords being formed over the gourd. Of course they are a bright chartreuse, to suit the Lime Green Queen.



Laura made me a lovely weaving.



And she worked on another of her pine needle baskets.



Lori takes a look at my tiny gourd purse. I lined it with leopard print cloth, and did some yarn basketry around the top.



We fooled around on Bill and Laura's new laptop, loading on some fun software and getting a few things set up.



For next Art Day, on July 13, we hope to be ready to start tiling. However, Rick and I will be out of town, so stay tuned to see where it will be held. And I'm supposed to get some sample mosaic tiles before then... hmm I better get on that!
