"Cinderella's Slipper"

Coiled by Kendra K Davis for Toni Best

This gourd piece is titled "Cinderella's Slipper". It is made with long leaf pine needles, domestic linen, and plastic Mardi Gras beads, woven onto a dyed gourd which I sealed with clear acrylic varnish on the inside and acrylic varnish which I added iridescent tinting medium to on the outside [ all purplish - the color of a good egg plant]. This is supposed to look as if Cinderella's Slipper was caught in mid-metamorphosis from a gourd (like her carriage was a pumpkin). Signed with Montel Metal Tag KKD. 9.5"L x 4.5"W x 5"H.
