The Ancient Indians of the Southwest used gourds for utensils, storage, decoration, or to prepare food.
When dried and the inside cleaned, the gourd is similar in consistency with wood. It is carved, painted, and polished to create unique works of gourd art.
The Coyote or Buffalo
gourd:
The gourds found in my local desert area are small spheres ranging
from 2-4 inches in diameter. The dried shell is very thin and
therefore quite fragile. Painted with Southwest designs and holes
drilled for twine to enable hanging, each displays a symbol from the
ancient petroglyths, or rock carvings found throughout the Southwest.
Great for decorating a Christmas tree, or can be displayed on
individual hangers for year round enjoyment. Ornament

We grow the bottle and birdhouse gourds in my garden. These range from 4-10 inches in diameter. We carve and paint and decorate these gourds like the Indians, who called them Dream Vessels.
Some have dried flowers, others I planted succulents in, some are left empty for you to put your dreams in.
Gourds grow in all sizes and shapes, the creation possibilities are endless!
Please visit The Gallery and discover the gourds as clowns, santas, birds, dream vessels, vases, and more. Also see the Fall Baskets, Birdhouse Boots, Floral Boots, and Wood Crafts.
