I’m glad the Gourdlandia event happened again this year! I really wanted to do this last year when it happened, but I had a conflict so I couldn’t go.
The first gourd I made didn’t look very good, so I quickly made a second gourd. I just put a face on it, so it was really simple, but it made a really nice nightlight that sparked a bit of joy in me whenever I looked at it. Unfortunately, later a member of my suite accidentally stepped on that gourd, so the majority of the gourd got detached from the lightbulb. Good thing I made two gourds!
Oh no, that’s too bad that your gourd broke. I’m glad that it sparked joy in you while it was around! I also really enjoyed this event and was happy with the gourd I made; however, I think one night it might have overheated and exploded. When I woke up the whole light had broken away from the gourd. A bit scary, but my gourd also gave me a lot of joy when it was still around.
