In His Grip, Nanette Bartet

Gourd Art Carving by Nanette Bartet

Carved Gourd ArtIt amazes me how much talent there is among our network. If  this is Nanette’s 2nd gourd,  can you just imagine what her 10th or her 20th is going to look like? Wow I can’t wait.
Nanette has a very sweet spirit and it shows in her art.
Thank you for sharing your words of praise,  this is truly a wonderful network of fantastic artist. Now we have another wonderful artist  to ad to the “family”  – Tamaree


“I am so excited about this new journey that I have just begun.  My life seems to have come to another crossroads and I chose to walk down the
path less traveled, or so I thought.  I have found a whole new family of wonderful people and fantastic artists. Many of you have deeply touched my life and you aren’t even aware of it. I appreciate the wonderful spirit of sharing and the willingness to help that everyone has shown.
Recently, I watched the videos from Profitable Hobbies by Marilyn, Mary, and Booker, on gourd carving.  I have surfed the web constantly for the last few months, simply devouring the beauty of gourd creations.
My “Little Gourd” is my first attempt at wood burning. This is actually my second gourd carving.  I gave the first one to my sister for Christmas.
I give my Father credit for imparting a portion of his creativeness to my life and realize my own humanity prevents me from being able to duplicate any art piece I might do. Therefore, each expression of art is a “one-of-a kind”.  I also enjoy drawing pencil portraits, photography, calligraphy, and learning to do household renovation projects.  Hopefully, I will be able to incorporate my own photography and drawing on gourds, wood, and glass.
I also work full time doing graphics for Trax Motor Sports and enjoy my family of six gorgeous girls and eleven wonderful grandchildren.
Thanks so much for the inspiration and encouragement, Tammy.” 
In His Grip,
Nanette Bartet

Basic Glass Engraving Tips and Techniques

Glass Engraving TechniquesTamaree held a webinar last night that covered all you ever wanted to know about Basic Glass Engraving Tips and Techniques. She started with the basics such as where to get patterns, where to buy glass, how to layout the design etc.

She then moved on to how to place the stencil pattern on the glass, getting it to lay down correctly.

Using high speed engraving equipment, she then traced the pattern onto the glass using a diamond engraving bur, right through the stencil pattern.Cutting out a Stencil Pattern
