ORNAMENT MAKING
December 22, 2010

Steve and Lobo set out to make some custom holiday ornaments.
We gathered a few items from the local desert and combined them with our art supplies.

Here's a painted gourd... but wait, look at the other side...

The front is a "gourd shadow box!"

"Jeweled" incense holder made from the remains of a cholla cactus... but wait, there's more...

This little baby has a LED light inside. The pic isn't great, but you can see the glare of the light coming from inside.

The LED shines thru the translucent jewel at the end.

'Sorry for the poor pic quality... but the gourd is another shadow box with a desert scene; a dark sky with glitter for stars, rocks, complete with a sculpted and painted howling coyote.

This little shadow box with the coyote is also lit from above by a miniature LED

This is a desert theme gourd with silhouetted Joshua Trees with sparkling green and red decoration.
