Peacock Palace


This gourd was a lot of fun to make.  I had made smaller ones, but never one with a top.  My only plan was to use the muhly grass rather than pine needles to do the side designs and the top.  Other than that it just seemed to all fall into place.  The alcohol inks were a perfect shade of green for the peacock feathers.  Jake, my neighbors' peacock, was taken by a wild animal not long ago, but left some beautiful feathers. A green jasper pendant and jasper beads adorn the handle.
