a grouping of Gourds by Vivian Helena. "Gourds are a fun challenge. After the growing process, they are dried and scrubbed clean. Gourds come in a wide range of sizes and shapes. 

Gourds  can be stained, painted, burned,  and carved.  I work with a variety of paints, stains,  enamels, beads, and natural items found around my home.  

Gourds have their own personality, they speak to me while I am holding them.  I love the feeling and connection with nature that develop while working on each one.

 For me, the passion of life and the gift of giving is embodied in each one.”
