Aligning with the Museum

  

In a previous post, we said this year's VA Gourd Show will once again align its member challenge with the current exhibit at our host venue, the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley. The exhibit is Marvelocity: the Art of Alex Ross and our challenge is MarvelGourd! - combining gourds with marveliousness of action figures!  Here are 2 ideas so far:

👈 One idea is a long-necked bottle gourd, hands on hips, head titled back in a proud stance of being Rose. Long-handled dipper gourds will provide the curved limps of arms and legs and paper roses as ornament, rose tattoos as body decoration, and rose fabric as tights and hair clasp.

The other idea is the Super Gourder with the tool belt and a bunch of mini gourd projects, electric cords, paint brushes and tools hanging from a belt wrapped around the belly of a masked bottleneck gourd.👉        

Join us for the VA Gourd Show! It's a great place for holiday gifts, raw gourds for your own projects, and meet experts who can offer some advice! There's always more than one way to make your way around an idea.
