Welcome to Good Gourds

Welcome to "Good Gourds". Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope that you'll enjoy looking at my gourds. I spend many hours cleaning (both the inside and outside), carving, engraving with a wood burner (pyrography) and painting each gourd.
Remember each gourd is a work of nature. Each one is unique with small bumps and irregular curves. If you look closely, each is misshapen just a little bit. I think this adds to their charm. Let me know what you think.
Thanks again,
Suzanne Lancaster

Barn with Tetons Gourd

I worked one summer in Grand Teton National Park while in college. What a beautiful place it is! This gourd shows an old barn early settlers built with the Teton Range in the background. The gourd stands approximately 10 1/2 inches tall; 7 1/4 inches diameter; 22 1/4 inches circumference. There is no carving on this gourd. The barns and mountains were drawn with pyrography and finished with acrylic paints. A final coat of acrylic varnish was applied.

Contact me (click on my name under "About Me") by email if you're interested in buying it.
