This vessel is made from the top of a very large gourd cut to be asymetrical at the top rim. It is 8" tall and 15-1/2" around at the widest part. This is the third in a series of Oak motiffs and depicts the tree in the spring. The leaves are burnt into the surface of the gourd and dyes are then blended using various shades of green and yellow to achieve the color variation in each leaf. A small dental burr is then used to carve away the background surrounding the leaf, exercising care not to carve through the gourd. Black acrylic is then applied in several steps to fill all indentations carved into the surface. The inside of the vessel is black and sealed with polycrylic. This vessel sits without a stand.
