Two Insects
|
These two dipper gourds are painted with fire ants and dragon flies. The insect motif gourds are hand-painted with various coloring pens. Many employ a process whereby the pigment is scratched off to reveal the design. Upon completion, the gourds are given a seal coat, then finished with a lacquer to give a durable finish.
All of the insects are based on actual insects, and have the coloring and markings accurately depicted. For the most part, they are Texas natives.
These insect gourds have the seeds in them, and make excellent rattles. They are sturdy, however are not toys, and should not be given to unsupervised children.
