<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: small;">Pictured left, this beautiful piece of gourd art by Dana Richardson was created using an &#8220;aesthetically challenged&#8221; gourd with a large crack extending down from the rim (seen on the upper right side of the gourd). </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: small;">The artist incorporated the crack into her overall design giving her piece an &#8216;ancient pottery&#8217; effect.</span></p>
