gourd planters

I had a bunch of penquin gourds to come up this year and God only knows where they came from. But I have dried several cut them open in the middle and hollowed out the seed. I then melted some canning wax and poured it in the gourd to seal it. After that I put some potting soil in and have an indoor plant I put a couple of roots in and they are doing just great. I even went so far as to paint the gourds and use my art talent which is -0 they look pretty good. Has anyone else done this? While I am on here how do you post a picture? Also this is one awesome web. Be careful it will make chill bumps on your arms. http://tinyurl.com/yxewot Dave please forgive me if I have posted this on the wrong place.
