I don't think that I wa very different from other children growing up when I say that I had a deep love and fascination with gourds. I loved the fact that you could dry them and they would stay in perfect shape and turn into mini musical instruments; just shake. You could paint them, glue things to them, including glitter; what better gift from nature could you ask for? I still feel that way.
Imagine now how many project ideas and plans go through my mind as adult now knowing how many different types and shapes of gourds exist. It is crazy how this simple plant is so diverse. From natural Lufa sponges to Birdhouses the possibilities are endless. Here are a couple of great videos that will get you started on your gourd art:
If you are interested in creating with gourds there are several sources on Etsy for you to get almost any shape or size to work with. Here are a few: There are also many beautiful finished projects for those of us that would love to decorate with gourds for the fall season but don't want to do out ourselves. I truly think that nothing says "Welcome Autumn" like a gourd:
