Gourds and pumpkins - part 2

 We had so much fun at today's circle - thank you Luna for leading and Cindy for being our co-pilot!! Luna invited us to share a way we enjoy pumpkin, and they all sounded so savory - from essential oils, to soups, Rice pudding and Gluten Free pumpkin Cheesecake!  One of each I had a lovely time sitting back and creating - and will play with messages in a bit! I pulled out my fluid acrylics (love the gold!) and decorated the gourd first - then painted a ᎢᏯ (i-ya - pumpkin in Cherokee) in my journal.  Punkin play zine I used a pre-election mailer as the base for a little zine - painted random strokes for a background, and then added collage (I even found pictures of ᎢᏯ (pumpkin)   I'll add it's name and more words later 🎃 Zine - Back and front covers There were some great ideas on favorite ways to use pumpkin - now I'm hungry!! Here's a recipe for a Pumpkin bean soup, that's similar to one mentioned (it's vegan and Gluten Free.)  What showed up for you?

Gourds and pumpkins, oh my!

  This fall our RT SiStar Luna invited us to   ' paint,  carve, or color jack o lanterns for the Halloween season.' Luna found a coloring page to post in our FB group, and some fun pumpkin art for inspiration. She got a large pumpkin, while I found a palm size gourd! Small Gourd T'is is the season for our Art Harvest Studio tour, and this lovely spiral pendant followed me home on the weekend.  Spiral pendant - Debra Franciosi   I love spirals, and think some may appear on my gourd.  Will you be working on paper, in your journal, or on a physical curcubid?
