Monkey Tumble
Roll your mouse over the photo below
to see the other side of this gourd.
Friends - Once again, watching nature programs
on TV, and with this media you can watch monkeys
in their element, doing what they like to do...something
you will be less likely to see in a caged environment,
like a zoo. In their play, they tumble and roll
around with each other so quickly that you can
hardly tell where one monkey ends and the other
one begins. You might call it a monkey maze in
motion...
Anyway, the shape of this very splendid gourd
really lent itself to the rough and tumble action
of monkeys in play. And much like a monkey maze
in motion, it does become hard to know where
one monkey begins and one ends on this gourd
as well. It is made with pyrography, leather
dye, acrylic paint, and some embossing powder
for monkey-nonsense texture. I will sell it for
a donation to UNICEF, MORE, WEAVE or a nonprofit
organization of your choice (as long as it serves
human rights, public health, or the protection
of the environment).
Enjoy this wonderful spring weather, while it
lasts.
