Busy…

I'm still busily engaged in gourd art…my escape from painful reality and an outlet for some pent up creativity. I do have 3 blank canvases ready for something, but what? The gourds are easy, but a stark white canvas is a real challenge. OK, my canvases (canvii?) are not really canvas, they are 11x14 canvas panels that I buy at Michaels for a relatively cheap $2 each. So I'm not risking a lot of money when I put a brush onto them, still they are daunting. (I need to get over this!)

Where do you get your gourds?

I'm growing my own. The little 'canteen' gourds are ones that I grew a few years ago, the larger gourds are also from my garden, just not as many. I have collected seeds from each and will grow some more this year.

You need some room for gourds to sprawl and they will! But they can also be grown on a trellis.

I think I would need to look for a local gourd farm, if I wanted to dabble in gourd art. No place to "sprawl" around here.
