Gourds Gone Wild
















Gourds have been around for centuries and were used as

I love the beautiful natural markings that can be found on gourds and I
incorporate them into my work. The wood stains I use have a transparent
quality which allows the natural beauty of the gourd to shine through.
I use a variety of design themes, so you will find flowers, dragonflies,
leaves and animals, Japanese themes such as the beautiful Geisha, cherry
blossom, kanji, lanterns and temples as well as mystical creatures such as
dragons, faeries and mermaids. I will also be doing some Native American
themes in the very near future. Please visit my galleries, you never know
what you might find there.
