This book was written for gourd artists looking to improve their
skills with the mini jigsaw. With step-by-step guidance,
supplemented by detailed instructional images for ten projects,
gourd artists will be able to create everything from simple puzzles
and jack-o-lanterns to lidded leaf bowls and luminaires. By working
through these projects, artists will build their confidence in
using the mini-saw to execute techniques such as cutting tighter
lines, cutting through a tight curve, and cutting 90-degree angles.
The exercises also emphasize tips on cleaning, coloring, and
sealing gourds. The book includes an extensive inspirational
gallery and resource section for those who aspire to even more
advanced projects.
Written for anyone wanting to build a beautiful, one-of-a-kind
gourd lamp, these 9 step-by-step projects include lamps with bases,
gourd lamp shades, and wall sconces. Also included is an inspiring
gallery of the creative lamps that gourd "light" artists around the
world are creating today. A concise glossary of lighting components
makes your internet research for the parts you need, and your
electrical wiring process, easier, and the book offers a resource
list of where to find the supplies needed for all the projects.
Although the projects use gourds for the lamp base or shade, other
craft materials could easily be substituted-making this a resource
of creative inspiration for making, and repairing, all kinds of
decorative lighting projects.
