One of the many gourds I have done. This features a large kettle gourd, cut open. The opening has been coiled with long SC pine needles. The process is actually a weaving technique, and adds a nice touch to many gourds.
The gourd has been hand painted with a snowy owl on the front. This is one of my signature pieces. All are numbered and dated.

Your creative talent is beautiful and appealing. What a refreshing idea.
This is beautiful, although I have other artistic talents, unfortunately painting and drawing is not one of them. I so admire those who can paint like you!
A big round of applause to you! In my opinion, you deserve to win. Please, we want to see more. Do you give "how to paint gourd's" lessons? Do you grow your own gourds?
How lovely! You're one talented artist!

I would like to buy your painted gourds. That owl sure is pretty. Can you do horses, other birds, cats and dogs too? Thanks for your feedback.
Gorgeous owl...you're very talented! I too would love to purchase one of these from you. Please let me know if you are selling them and the price. Gigi
Thank you. Gosh ya'll are so nice to comment on Peek-A-Boo! He is one of my signature pieces, and I have 3 in private collections that folks have purchased from me. Yes I do sell most of any gourds. I love to coil,carve, I do chip carved pieces. My specialty is Gourd Purses. Prices of my purses start at 70.00,and go from there. Any purse that is carved,burned (pyroengraved)inlay work,they are more expensive. Gourds are a real time issue, and all of my pieces are labor intensive. But it is what makes them so unique, I feel any how.
These painted gourds are just lovely. You are a talented painter and I hope you are selling your work! I envy you. I can't paint worth a darn and even have trouble with stencils!
Oh, see! I just read the other people who wrote in. They want to buy them. You've got your own business yet? If not, there you go! Again, good luck to you. : D
This looks gorgeous. Great work. Hope your selling to share your talent!
