Introducing my "Gourd Babies"!!

Yes, they are finally finished---almost. I just couldn't wait to show them to you!! Meet, the girls...I wish the pic was clearer. I have had lots of fun and some hair pullin' (mine and theirs) getting these dolls completed. But, I think it was all worth it. I just wish you could see them in person.

Here are the actual "babies" of the bunch. I know they look a little stern...I think they are angry because I have fed them.

I know Mama isn't supposed to have favorites, but...here she is. I can't help it, this little gal just stole my heart.

If you remember the pics I shared of the gourd babies in the beginning stages, you know that I start by basecoating the gourd and then freehand the features of the face. When the faces are finished, I begin to see personalities emerge. But, they don't really come "alive" until they are finished and I am always more surprised that anyone to see "who" they have become.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my babies, please leave a comment...I love to hear what you think.

Now, I have to give them names. That's where their stories really begin.
