Check out the fine pyrography and painting on the gourds below. The artists used unique designs on the gourd rattle and vessels. Gourd Art was a big hit at the January show.

Below, we are pleased to offer these beautiful hand painted gourd crafts for sale. Dried, hand painted gourds make excellent gifts and can be handed down as an heirloom to the next generation.
Dried gourds can be used for decorative or functional
purposes, such as baskets, birdhouses, night lights and much more. Gourd baskets make excellent gifts when filled with items to suit the occasion. Fill a basket with baby items for a shower, baked goods for a thank you gift, or stationary and office supplies for a student going off to college. A basket filled with balls of yarn, crochet and knitting needles makes a wonderful gift for someone with those interests, but also look charming on the endtable in the sewing room.
.
Remember that each gourd is an original hand painted
piece and the painting may vary slightly from the one shown in the picture.
