brendak, how interesting to see the nests they have built. I think stuff like that from nature are really beautiful.
I used some paper wasp nest material to line this gourd bowl. I decoupaged it and then sealed it with varnish/polyurethane. I also put the material in the outside carve areas. I like the effect.
The second picture is a weaving technique I learned at the South Carolina gourd festival this past spring. Its fun to get together with other creative crafty people and work on a project. The teacher for this particular class was fun.
