I enjoy making gourd art from spontaneous ideas. I would say about 60% of my gourd art comes about from those ideas. Of course those ideas are triggered by something, and more often than not it's something from nature such as a flower from my garden or a tree ablaze in fall color. However, I think I actually find the most enjoyment in creating gourd art by following the inspiration of others. I am a good listener and so when someone explains to me what they are envisioning on a gourd, I picture the finished piece and a little bit more. . . . I love to add my own twist to the custom gourd just to give him/her a pleasant surprise.
If you're looking for a very special gift for yourself or someone you love, I believe a useful and beautiful piece of gourd art is something that will be treasured by anyone and everyone.
