Gourds are a gift from Nature.
They are wonderous, magical, as well as practical. Gourds have been used for centuries as tools, water vessels, musical instruments, ornaments and spiritual icons. Gourds come in many different shapes and sizes, and have smooth surfaces that look beautiful when stained, painted or embellished.

Gourd Art has been around for quite a few years, but is gaining popularity today. Decorating and crafting gourds can range from a simple design to the level of fine art.

Gourds are harvested in the fall and need to dry for sometimes 6 to 9 months
before they can be crafted.
Crafting dried gourds can be a tedious process. I craft my gourds with care.
