Bonnie Adams said… You made my day, Randy! It's something I never expected and you certainly never had to do, but you really made my day. It's absolutely beautiful! And I really thank you! Love the inlace and the enameled looking finish. It's just perfect.
Kathleen O'Brien said… Thank's Randy, I was afraid that my comment was a little to sarcastic for the audience. It can be a blessing in disguise can't it. Love your work. Kate

Barbara Piazza said… I have friends who do the pine coiling... will ask about books! "Green drying gourds in water... " Under the water? Full of water? Water with Clorox? bp
I just discovered the photos of your work. I am SO in awe! The gourds are wonderful and I wish I was that talented. You definitely have a gift. Blessings...
Clinton R. Waters said… Randy, just wanted to touch base and see what you have been doing. I really like all your new photos. I have just purchased turquoise chips to explore inlaying on gourds. It looks like you may have already have explored this. Also I really need to learn how to weave with pine needles also. It is a tool that I need to make my gourds look really finished. Your work is always amazing. I hope to have some new posts in a couple weeks. My short term job is really about to get me down so don't have a lot of time but that will change soon.
Celia Wetzel said… Randy, What tool to you use to get those lovely sharp edged cutouts??? Happy New Year!
