There’s no better way to describe this!
Strong winds caused downed power lines, power outages and destruction of residential property, but it held to an unusual scene in Lehi. Dan Pearce took this video of a ‘porta potty’ being blown down the street.

Custom Carved Gourds
The gourd as a creation of Fine Art.
Marilyn Sunderlin, an artist in Utah, takes dried gourds and turns them into colorful sculptures:
I carve the gourds with a high-speed carving/engraving tool that is powered by compressed air, which I purchased from Profitable Hobbies for the fine detail carving. I purchased the Optima II Plus carving tool from Treeline (The Woodcarvers Specialist), for larger and faster cuts. I can purchase different size burrs for both tools, so I can carve a wide variety of textures on my gourds. […]
My favorite medium is oils, because they stay moist longer and allows more flexibility in blending the colors. I also use acrylics and wood stains. I have tried dyes, but prefer the wood stains to dyes. I use the acrylics for the inside of the gourd because it is so porous. Remember to use a wood sealer first on all carved areas before painting. This will help the paint to stay its true color.
