Gourds are the perfect medium for me. I can carve them, use pyrography, paint, weave, dye or write on them. I can do tribal art, primitive motifs, cutesy stuff, patriotic themes, goth looks, or whatever suits my fancy. So far I haven't run out of ideas! Text and Photos Copyright Fayme Harper 2012.

Making a marionette
I finally figured out a project that can use the curly dipper gourds I bought. I'm making a gourd marionette. The curving dipper gourd is just right for the arm and leg sections.

Snake Gourds
The three long gourds on top were grown in my garden last year. The rest came from the gourd farm.

Gourd Rune Set
The inner bowl is crocheted. The runes are made of white air hardened clay and painted with ink. The design on the bowl is four Thor's Hammers.

Curly Dipper Gourds
Once a year the Welburn Gourd Farm brings in the new crop and has a special day for best selection. I had a good time there even though I didn't get to stay long. Here are some curly dipper gourds I got at the event.
