Gourds

I'm not kidding. Everyone has a budget...especially artists. But

Salt
Crystal Lamps
have been used by Feng Shui specialists to stimulate "chi" (for love and wealth). Research suggests an overall, positive affect on our physical and psychological well being by neutralizing positive sodium ions and negative chloride ions, which are then emitted back into the atmosphere. They help clean the ambient air. On top of all this, just add a few drops of essential oil (included) to release a nice fragrance into the air. What more can you ask for? All salt lamps include UL approved cord with switch and night light, enough white salt crystals (can be colored) to fill the bowl and instructions. |

We
call them "Puzzle Boxes", and personally I love 'em. Using
the vine-grown "canteen" gourds more familiar in the U.S.
(and now gaining popularity in P.R.), the thick shells are perfect
for making these great catch-alls. Ken carves them, as he has finally
fallen victim to "gourd-itis", but he refuses to learn
to paint so I still have a job.

 You'll
find all kinds of uses for them. To see more, visit the

Are
the pieces food-safe?
This has caused considerable debate, and I am often asked this question. According to woodworking experts, once most finishes are cured, (roughly 30 days), they are indeed food-safe (safe enough even for children to chew on, important if you're building furniture). A good article from Popular Woodworking, titled The Folly of Food-Safe Finishes, by Bob Flexner, is available online at www.popularwoodworking.com. Another article, Food-Safe Finishes by Angela Babin, M.S., Art Hazard News, Volume 20, No. 3, 1997, reiterates the view that once a finish is completely cured, it is safe for foodware or children's toys. I have been using my own pieces with different foods for years without any ill effects...but if in doubt, use a barrier, such as a napkin. Dry foods clean up easily with a damp cloth; for dips and other messy foods, soap and water. The finish on these pieces stand up to wear and tear, but in any case, please don't use metal utensils which may be too harsh. |
