- What is your interest in gourds? Please be specific - one word answers don't allow us to block potential spammers. YOU MUST use both your first and last name on your profile!
- My grandmother has grown and sculpted with gourds for years - her passion has carried on to me! I make realistic animals with all sorts of gourds. I enjoy finding the animal within the gourd shape and making them look like they're ready to come alive.

Gourdies eeeeverywhere
I love to make animals/fantasy creatures from gourds! Turtles, frogs, mice, dragons, spiders, cats, birds, and tons of other ideas I haven't tried yet!
Many different creations A great sampler of my gourd art!
Gourd Turtles! I've made a series of gourd turtles to make specific species. I use maranka (aka, caveman) gourds. 59 differnet turtles so far!

Christine Pace said… Hi Cara,
Please go to the Cherokee Gourd gathering web site at:
www.gourdgathering.net Yes, this is the BEST show nearby!! I go every year, and will miss my old gourd-traveling-buddy this year as she has moved to Illinois; if you want a room mate let me know! I'll stay at least Thursday and Friday nights this year. It is a four-day show with 94 classes this year! Pleanty of vendors too so you can buy anything & everything! PLUS - thery have a tent where you can try out lots of tools for free. The evenings are filled too with activities to enjoy.
I have a son & his family who live in Charlotte, which is between you & I right? Maybe one day when I'm visiting them a few days we can meet??
Please feel free to email me at my home email address too, which is:
