My Heart Is Locked For You Fancy Gourd

Description

This was a collaboration between myself and Guy Taylor. It is permanantly locked (screwed shut) with a secret item inside.

This is a hard shell gourd carefully cut open, cleaned out, and then screwed shut. The woodburned text around it says, "My Heart is Locked For You." This would make a great romantic gift for an anniversary or Valentine's Day for someone with a poetic heart.

Here is what Guy has to say about it: This piece is something of a departure for me.
Typically I do gourd art that has a use, a purpose, something you can do with it.
Canteens, cups, bowls, jugs... that sort of thing.

Well, this one is absolutely useless as a functional gourd. It's art. At least, I think it's art.

My Heart is Locked for You is 3 1/2" high and 5" in diameter.

The heart on the lid is imitation gold leaf outlined by acrylic paint. The body of the gourd has been stained with leather dye and the whole thing has been sealed with lacquer.

The lid is fastened down by 4 brass straps. I guess you could unscrew the straps to find out what is inside the heart... but then the heart wouldn't be locked any longer.
And that's the point: My Heart is Locked for You.
