Forest Solace Gourd

My latest gourd venture, a forest scene in pyrography and carved bottom.  I am posting the views as the gourd is turned.  Let's go for a little walk...

This scene is of a doe and her fawn under the canopy of leaves, I wanted to show the affection and care of a mother with her baby.  I call this side "The Lighted Path".

This next scene (which I had to take in two photos) is the mother doe looking over her back at her fawns, who, not unlike many children, have gotten a little distracted.

This little section features the characters we might encounter, squirrels chattering in the trees and raccoons having a little wash in the creek.

Lastly, we have a doe and her buck, keeping an eye on all the goings on.  They symbolize the start of a new life of love, of family to come.

The view of the bottom of the gourd, carved leaves with some added color.

I hope you enjoyed this little "walk" with me! 
​May you enjoy the beauty around you today.
