Only gourds
"This is interesting - but I assume not made from gourds. I see the gourd painting and the one the second mannequin is holding, but figure the two mannequins are wood?"

Rating Photos & other website tips
If you want to utilize this site fully, there are many extra features that you may not even realize are available.
Did you know you can rate photos? When you pull up a photo to look at the full sized picture, there are 5 greyed out stars to the right of the photo. You may click on these to assign 1-5 stars. If you've ever used Netflix or similar programs this works exactly the same. If one person rates a photo as a 5, and someone else as a 2, then that photo's score would be around a… Continue

Blog versus Forum?
If you have a question, the forum is the best place to post your discussion. These posts will remain visible on the forum section for quite a while. If it's really important information, we can make them "featured posts" so they stay up top all of the time.
If you just want to make general statements or tell about what you are doing with gourds, then the blog area is for you. People can still reply to your posts, but important questions won't be lost as new entries push the old ones… Continue

Gourd Calendar?
In previous years, someone has taken it upon themselves to gather gourd art photos from many artists and to create a wall calendar featuring that art. I know I participated for several years but I don't believe anyone has done so lately.. It takes a lot of work to get photos and permissions from all the of the different people - but nothing says you couldn't create a calendar with your own gourd art using one of the many photo services.
This year I searched for an art wall calendar… Continue

You are extremely talented and generous with your knowledge. All I want to do now is play with gourds, which doesn't get my house built! Thank you for all the wonderful inspiration! Toni Davis

I'm a Bonnie Gibson fan and admirer of all your work. I can't understand how you produce so many exquisite works, teach, write articles, travel, exhibit at shows and run a retail business. Thanks for commenting on my Proud Owl. Chuck
