If you have specific sizes, colors, or styles in mind, please let me know and I will send you additional photos of available pieces. Website : http://www.arizonagourds.com HOT OFF THE VINE : Art vessels are designed in nature oriented themes and utilize hard shelled gourds. The Lageneria family of gourds are related to cucumbers, squash and pumpkins. They have been used by mankind for many thousands of years in the form of bowls, containers and musical instruments. Website : http://www.hotoffthevine.com/ THE DECORATIVE GOURD : Here hard shell gourds have been transformed into several decorative styles. They have been divided into galleries by theme; some of them will fall into different galleries. All of the available gourds are for sale. I also take orders for custom gourds; however a deposit is needed on all orders. If you see something you like please feel free to contact me. I use a variety of media: carving, pyrographyed, watercolor dyes and acrylics. In most cases the different media are mixed together on the same gourd.
