It's that time of year. I start looking under the leaves to see how far along the gourds and squash are.
New ones this year -- crooknecks. I use a thrown donut (cut in quarters to use for four gourds) and add it to a pumpkin shape thrown upside-down.

I really enjoy your gourd shapes.
ReplyDeleteand the brain power to come up with them.
I usually can visualize things that are described, but am missing how a donut, thrown and quartered, becomes part of - what? The stack of pumkin/gourd shaped pots perhaps, somehow? I'm making pitchers with the gourd fold in them these days, so am very interested.
