Our medium is gourd art. Our work includes birdhouses, bowls, vases, sculpture, masks, oil candles, night lights, ornaments & garden decor all made from gourd. We grow and dry as many gourds as possible (although some years that's difficult in Northern Michigan!) My parents (retired farmers) grow gourds for us too.
We started our little gourd endeavor (Pillywiggins Garden) last year and it has taken off better than we ever expected. We're still trying to work out the kinks for show displays and we love to learn new techniques, tips & tricks. I look forward to swapping info and sharing ideas with the group!

Welcome. I live in Pittsburgh, Pa and create handcrafted jewelry. I have found so many wonderful resources on this site and I know you will too. I checked out you work and it is amazing. Good luck to you.

I hope you have a good week too. My husband & I still work full time jobs. He is a landscaper so at least he can still be creative. Me, I'm a bookkeeper (office manager for a construction company). Creativity in bookkeeping is frowned upon. LOL Sometimes it's so hard to sit at a desk when you really want to be working in your studio! Ours is lovingly referred to as the "Gourd Dungeon". :D
