I truly enjoy my gourd art. I call it play, not work.
If you see something you like that may be sold, remember, I can never duplicate an item. I can work with a similiar
sized or shaped gourd, similiar colors and embellishments, but every gourd is truly one-of-a-kind. I complete all outside pieces, like the pink flamingo, with a seal coat
that will protect it for outside display for one season. After this amount of time you will want to bring the item in,
clean it, and reseal it with a coat of wax or other appropriate sealant. Please do not leave gourds outside during
the winter months in areas where the temperature drops below 40 degrees. The gourds will eventually crack when exposed
to freezing and extreme heat. Even if you take your pink flamingo gourd to Florida, you will want to reseal it from
time to time to keep it from cracking and aging - gourds are truly a gift that will last forever, when cared for properly.

Gourds have been around forever. They have been used to carry water,
mix food, serve food, musical instruments, worship gods, and their seeds have been saved by tribe leaders for many years.
Gourd history is endless, as endless as the shapes of gourds and the many ways that they enhance our lives and environments.
