My dragon nest egg gourds are hand-drawn then wood-burned as I follow the contours of each one. The gourds were grown by me from seed, then green-scraped to allow for a lovely smooth patina. These OOAK pieces have been meticulously wood-burned with designs ready for you to leave as is or to color in whatever way you desire. Gourds take most colorfast permanent markers, many paints, and leather dyes. After coloring, you will likely want to finish off with a spray lacquer to protect your finished gourd. These would look lovely gathered into a basket on your table.
Be sure to click on each of the photos to view the individual gourd. I have provided 3 views of each (note the name under each trio). If you need more photos, just let me know. The size of each is noted by the name of the gourd in the drop down menu. These measurements are widest part by longest length of the gourd. Unlike my pysanky, these eggs are signed and dated.
Great idea for a gift to someone who enjoys coloring, or to finish yourself. If meant to be a gift and you want the recipient to choose their favorite, I can supply gift certificates. Since every dragon egg is OOAK (one of a kind), once it's sold, it's gone. I don't do duplication, but I am willing to create new dragon eggs that are similar to one already sold. You should know, however, that the bumps are completely unique to each gourd and replication is more difficult on these than on some of my other work.
Gourds are naturally produced and have variants in coloring and texture. These gourds definitely have bumps, hence the dragons emerging. Because their skins vary in thickness and texture the wood-burning process isn't always exact. Therefore, you should expect some differences in line thickness of the design as well as in the color of the gourd shell.
