Round Table Revisited

[just_me_karen]

And so Lord of the String said unto the peoples, "Go forth anew. Seek a land you can call your own."

The people saw it was good.

So, on the last day the people said their solemn goodbyes and began the long journey to the promised new land.

And so began the new land and its people were joyous!

Welcome, to the Return of the Round Table known as...

"Round Table Revisited" (RTR)

Do you want the loan of the jigsaw I got for Christmas?? 🙂

[just_me_karen]

Oh. I think making musical instruments might test my creativity lol. I do remember at school using percussion shakers made from gourds.

I might get one from her and see how easy they are to hollow out

I have never tried to do anything with a gourd. Do they harden as they grow?  If so and you want to carve it, I wonder if you can soak it until it is very soft, carve it and then dry it out again?  Or do they have hard outsides like a walnut which would not soften?

I am off to bed. Good night Stringsters 🙂

I have never tried to cut into them Prim.  I just like the burnished look many of them get as they age.

Karen we used to use coconut shells in our percussion band at school - and also gourds as Maracas.  Never thought to work out how they got the bead things inside to make the noise lol

I think they're like pumpkins, carve-able with some difficulty and hopefully not too many missing fingers

She had them sitting along her front fence, hope there are some left tomorrow.

I've been watching the news about Tassie, so horrible to see all the heritage homes being burnt.
