- What is your interest in gourds? Please be specific - one word answers will not be accepted. We block all potential spammers. YOU MUST use both your first and last name on your profile or we will not approve your membership.
- There is no limit what can be made from a gourd. There is so much versatility from all the artist with their own interpretations. There is no wrong way or one way to do art. I enjoy working on gourds as much as looking at all the photographs. I love talking to other artist and learning new techniques. Everything I do to a gourd can change from one thing to another, because it is a matter of what I like at that moment.
Just some info.
I have learned and progressed as I go. I love new techniques and I am always adding new gourds. Always welcome your thoughts and ideas. Thanks again.....

You are a very talented artist,,,,so you use long pine needles...I led my vines up into my pine tree this year,,,I will not do this again because I luv my tree but just wanted to see gourds growing from a tree,, the effect is great,,,the pictures dont do justice to real life,,, I grew all these inside five gallon buckets with the bottom completely knocked out,,,I have more control over the water and less problems with cut worms,,,just loosen up the dirt under where you are going to set the bucket,,this is perfect for folks with small yard. My friend took my advice and sent her vines up a rose trelles and used twine from second story window to grow up the side of her house,,,it was awsome.
