Carving Idea's

Hi everyone I am looking for some help on finding new carving idea's for my gourd bowls.
Below you will see some of the bowls I have already carved. I hope to get more detailed, the more I practice.
I am thinking about carving crosses, floral, and maybe some zodiac signs (my niece suggested she would like to see that) I am also considering making some small like hope chest boxes with things carved on the tops. Let me know what you think?
What do you think any ideals are welcome. Please excuse the pictures I am also searching for a new camera but have to sell a few more items before I can afford the one I am looking at. I have an old cannon I love but it is not digital so I need to move up in the world and get one that is. My digital is a small Sony and I have not been as happy with it as my old cannon. Any help there would greatly be appreciated also. Well I have rambled enough about that let me know what you think. I should be able to get some good work done the next few days as Ron will be gone and I wont have to worry about picking up the house and cooking meals.

The Lord bless you and keep you: the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.

Numbers 6:24,2

Monday Morning Blues Find a Child to Lift Your Spirits

If You are having Monday Morning Blues look for a child!!!!!!!!!!!
I was feeling a little down when I received these pictures of my great niece.
Lifted my spirits right up. Then I talked to my daughter who was telling me my grandson
who is five had escaped the house and she found him in their new backyard in his Transformer under ware
and his tennis shoes running along the inside of the fence ..........arms spread out like a bird in flight.........yelling free free at last.............the dogs had broken the new extra sturdy chain link fence and were running on the outside of the fence barking ............I am sure freeeeeeee freeeeeeeeeee at last!!!!!!!!!!
Kids they are the best. They love with abandon, forgive quickly, and laugh freely!!!!!!!!!!!! Find a child
and lift your spirits today!!!!!!!!!!! God Loves You!!!

Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4

Frankies On The Road

Well it was a good weekend. I sold my little Frankie Gourd Light and he is now on his was to Califorina. I had become quiet attached to him in the past few weeks and was about to decide I would keep him when he sold! So I am excited. Iwas beginning to feel a little down about my abilities to sell or create something someone else might like. But thanks to Sherri out in Califorina my spirits have been lifted. (And of course many prayers that I might get my bussiness started and sell something I am sure helped also) Thank You God for hearing my prayers.

Bye Bye Frankie
