Silliness! This chubby lady makes me smile every time I look at her! Matter of fact, she made me smile the entire time I was creating her! The inspiration came from a Mexican pottery lady and a Russian babushka doll and the shape of the...

Bold, Bright, & Beautiful. Colored with ink dyes, carved to highlight the design, and embellished with a mule deer antler and woven pine needles. This gourd makes a stunning statement in any room! Note: if you know a hunter that collects antlers, this makes a...

 Stunning.  Elegant.  Classy.  A shed antler (fell off the deer, was not cut off) wraps this mahogany colored 12" gourd.  A perfect gift for the art lover, hunter, or wildlife lover in your life.  Would look spectacular in a modern interior and would fit right into a...

This gourd was designed and created specifically as a donation to the Boulder County Hospice fundraiser. The requirement was to provide an item that had an African theme. The pattern was burned into the skin of the gourd, and then colored with ink dyes. The...

A small 4" gourd. Looks great on a stand. Deep green, brown, black. This celebration of nature would look wonderful in most any room or office. The button embellishment was the inspriation for this one!

 The name of this rather special gourd was chosen because it descibes just how it happened!  I started working on it and just got carried away!  Kept going and going, adding more patterns, dots, lines, color.  LOVE IT!  Just may have to keep this one! ...

Diamonds of the reptile variety encircle this rather “manly” gourd. Would get lots of attention no matter where it was displayed — a true conversation piece. Colored with ink dyes, embellished with a black rock bead. It measures approximately 10 inches across, 8 inches high....

Elephants encircle this fairly large gourd bowl. It measures approximately 14" across. The rim is embellished with woven date palm. The pattern on the lower half depicts African mud cloth. Much of this gourd is carved, and it would make a stunning focal point in...

This bowl was created especially for my stepson, an avid fisherman.

The pattern on this gourd looked like seaweed. What else could I paint but fish?! Bright ink dyes for color and red glass seed beads embellishing the rim make this a very special and fun addition to any décor.

Geometry is so precise and so structured, that I named this gourd in fun. It is an assymetrical study in geometric shapes. The pattern was burned into the gourd, the color is ink dyes, and it has been embellished with fine gold wire. It is...

This is a small pear-shaped gourd. It measures about 6" tall. A geometric pattern with flowers thrown in for fun! Monochromatic browns and golds. Warm, modern, even a bit masculine. Looks best on a stand.

Dancing and changing maple leaves.  Colorful, whimsical! 

Flashy!  Colorful!  Will jazz up any room!   

 Does this look like an owl?!

This pattern on this mask is burned first, thn painted with ink dyes.  Embellishments are wooden beads, feathers, and fabric paint.  FUN!
