Gourd Art was a whole new world to me when introduced by an expert gourd artist, Pam Johnson! I recently received this marvelous butterfly necklace from her etsy shop. All of her pieces are intricately cut, sanded, and artfully hand-painted.
Gourds come from the same family as pumpkins, and when dried they have a similar appearance as wood. Gourd artists then go to work, carving, shaping, polishing, painting, pyrography, etc!
We come to better appreciate the detail and time put into such pieces when we make our own feeble attempts at creation. They make it look so easy!
