It's so surprising how the contrast of light and dark can be so transforming! This gourd is open at the top and the bottom to be placed over a tea light which was not as luminous and as a candle's flame. However, because gourds will burn, it is vital NOT to put a candle in a gourd where can have contact with the gourd wall. Cutting the top and bottom open allows the shell to be placed over a votive without fear of the candle burning to the nub and catching the gourd on fire. The design is done with Sharpies with various-sized holes made with a variety of drill bits.
