Here you will find gourd products I have made throughout the years. Some I sold at shows and some were gifts. I still have a few and always have something in the back of mind to paint or make for the next time I sit down ready to do more gourd art.

 I prefer that my gourds have some of the natural wood color and texture showing. The snowman's vest is the natural gourd unpainted. |
 I made quite a few singing ladies this year. I added paper clay to the tops to look like hats since some of the gourds were rather pointed. And I added paper clay for ears on a few. Their dreses are then natural unpainted gourd. |

 This Santa is a giant gourd. He is not done yet. But I think he is a keeper. |
When Santa was done he won Blue Ribbon at the NC State Fair in the Christmas Decorative Painting category. I was very proud since I was unsure if painting on a gourd was acceptable. I guess it was.
