Oh, My Gourds!

Design, Fabrication, Photos, and Text by Alyssa Kail

Gourds are a favored part of fall décor. This 9-1/4" x 7-3/4" panel of colorful gourds features Wissmach’s vivid glass colors along with decorative soldering to add bumpy texture. This project is constructed using the copper foil technique and framed in zinc came.
