The Painted Gourd
Cat Gourds
Tuxedo Cat Birdhouse
This birdhouse measures approximately 11. tall and 5. wide.
One of our black cats was the model for this gourd, but I painted her as a tuxedo cat.
The deep pink background behind the cat has orange swirls.
It hangs on a length of suede lace.
The gourd has been finished with acrylic gloss varnish for indoor use.
If you plan to hang any of my gourds outdoors, you should first seal them with a varnish specifically formulated for outdoor use.
Five Cats, One Gourd Birdhouse
This birdhouse measures approximately 10. tall and 6. wide.
I originally planned to have just two cats by the opening, but then three other cats insisted on joining the design.

Siamese Cat Birdhouse
Many years ago, my parents had a lovely and extraordinarily-friendly Siamese named Gershwin. His fur was a beautiful grayish lilac. We doubted that Gershwin was a pure Siamese Lilac Point, though, as he was of a much heavier build than one would expect from a pure Siamese.
Fourth of July Gourd Centerpiece
This centerpiece measures approximately 12. tall and 5. wide.
The banners read .UNITED WE STAND. and .DIVIDED WE FALL..
A patriotic mouse waving a flag has joined the crowd of cats.
