I love my Michaud Artichoke box. I think it may become a collection. I have the beehive and apple now, as well. If you happen to have others, please keep me in mind and let me know.
Preston Penguin Snowflake Gourd by Meadowbrooke details
Only 1 Remaining!
Make a unique lighted gourd a great addition to your Holiday decoration collection.
How can you be ready for the Winter Holidays season without this wonderful lighted Penguin gourd? Great to be used in a dining table centerpiece grouping – or perfect for a featured display in your home or even for your office credenza.
This handmade artist creation was crafted from a raw hard shell gourd on a farm outside of Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Colored with leather dyes, a craftsman then carved intricate openings to allow the light of the interior bulb to escape. The design is in the shape of a delicate and intricate snowflake - making it perfect decor for the entire winter season. Preston, who stands a full 12-inches tall, has a fabric bowtie and a very elegant look to him.
Because the gourd is natural and not manufactured, the size, shape and color will vary slightly with each piece. That makes each a one-of-a-kind creation.
These measurements are for this specific gourd pictured:
Measurements (LxWxH in US inches) Lighted Penguin Gourd - 5.00 x 5.00 x 12.00
This lighted gourd includes a UL-approved socket with 6-foot cord & appropriate bulb.
The Meadowbrooke Gourds’ farm is where the magic happens. The farm lies at the foot of the Blue Mountains in central Pennsylvania.
How was this gourd dried? After they snip the gourd from the plant it is left in the fields for the next six months where it dries naturally.
How was it washed? The skin on the outside is best removed after the gourd has soaked for two days and then scrubbed with a steel wool pad or hard bristled brush.
How was it cut and crafted? The Meadowbrooke artists use jigsaws customized over the last 10 years to perfectly craft these creations. A crafter must train for at least a year and even then, only half of them go on to become a master cutter.
How was it finished? After the gourd is dyed with leather dyes, the artists use satin finish polyurethane to complete them.
Make this a great addition to your Winter decor or give it as a wonderful gift to a friend or someone in your family.
