# Rainbeaded Enamel Gourd

A rain-beaded enamel gourd under a two-layer coat: clear lacquer reflects its own Fresnel share and passes the rest down to a pigmented base with metallic flake, and every flake carries its own normal, so the sparkle comes and goes with the angle a real show finish does. The droplets are geometry bumped into the field on a jittered lattice, each a lens with a water Fresnel and a bright meniscus. It rests as a fat black-cherry pear, drenches into a calabash, then squats into a ribbed gourd.
