Primed gourd pieces with KILZ. Did not attach house to roof yet, but drilled holes for hanging.

Painted bottom. Attached millefiori. Applied thinset.

Rolled bottom of gourd with thinset in green glass bits.

Working side ways, slowly, used thinset to apply small tiles.

Continued adding small tiles and medallion by embedding directly into thinset.

Checking to see if there are enough pieces!
Picture
Attached medallion in back with thinset as well.
Picture
Attached white glass on sides with thinset, using toothpicks as spacers. Have to wait for each row to dry before moving to next...argh. Grouted the next day.

Adhered red glass for roof. Protected medallions and small tiles with tape.
