We will be making small gourd wind chimes.    As far as the decorations on the gourd go, we will be focusing on woodburning, but, if that's not your thing, and you prefer to paint on the gourd, just bring your supplies for that. 
Alice will have gourds for everyone to use, but if you have a preferred gourd to use, feel free to bring it, but based on the size of the windchimes, you probably want to keep the diameter to around 3" or so. 

We've ordered a set of the chimes, at about $1.75 each.

Please confirm if you plan on attending the May meeting, so we can be sure to have a set of the chimes for everyone attending.  (you can email your reply to PalmettoGourdPatchInfo@gmail.com)

Supplies you'll need aside from the normal safety and apron supplies, would be your woodburner and tips, or, if you are painting, your paints and brushes.   Small pair of pliers, scissors, small bit of leather or waxed cord (no more than 8"), and a Small Awl, or a Drill to make a hole through the top "Nib" so you can run a leather strip or waxed linen cord through for a hanger.

 

 Once completed, and before you hang it outside, you'll want to consider spraying with a UV Protectant, and a Sealant.
