Fall creations at Market Street Artisans

Here at Market Street Artisans we are always trying out new ways to use our paints. And fall is upon us so here we are, painting gourds.

Before you ask... these are real, dried apple gourds. Who would have thought!?

Yes, grown then dried gourds. 

We painted them using Amy Howard's One-Step paint 

in Charm School and Lime Lime colors

Then lightly sanded and waxed with our Antique Wax.

They are great display on a buffet, as table center pieces or mantels. One can also choose their own colors and the best part is...

...Unlike any of the store bought gourds and pumpkins, when painting these dried gourds we did not have the issue of paint bleeding through our finish.
