Welcome to my blog and website all about gourds, gourd crafting, and gourd art. I invite you to visit each page and post for tips, project tutorials, and loads of inspiration. Also, learn more about me as a Michigan artist, see my past gourd art, and visit my Etsy shop where you can purchase a unique gourd creation.
Turtle Gourd Basket
This first "Turtle" gourd I made was for a lady who has a turtle collection. We were trading plants and she decided that she would love a turtle gourd in trade for some plants I wanted. I was more than happy to make a custom gourd for her. She uses it as a basket to hold all her loose garden seed packets.
A little later I made another Turtle gourd. This time a lady had seen the gourd I made for the plant trade and wanted one like it. I decorated both gourds with a carved handle and woodburning. I woodburned several turtles resting among the nodding violets. If you are interested in a gourd similar to these I'd be happy to custom make one just for you.
