According to my boyfriend, Welburn Gourd Farm is having a 70% off sale on bottle gourds. I'm sure these are the very end of last year's crop. And since we use them to make canteens, vases, and water jugs, we always need some. I use the bottle gourds for dolls, birdhouses and vases. So with any luck we'll drive out there first thing in the morning.
I hope to get some more little gourds to make gourd necklaces. I really need to show some restraint or I end up buying way too many.
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.
