A WONDERFUL AD...THANKS FOR SHARING.

Comments:
Your gourds are so beautiful! We, my husband & I, just had our first growing season this last spring, and found out we did not know anything about gourds when we started. we did manage to raise 22 gourds that we harvested this fall. I feel lucky if I just get a solid color on one

Comments:
Thanks for sharing your gourds. I am just getting started trying to paint them. This spring I am going to try to grow some.

Comments:
Really nice site. I am just getting interested in gourds, so I will bookmark and come back soon.

Comments:
beautiful website. I will add it to my bookmarks for future reference and possible sales here in texas. I will order my own in the near future also. Thank you Joanne and Linda

Comments:
JEANNIE -- I finally got on the site -- what incredibly lovely gourds -- can you tell me what type of gourd seed you planted to get these? I planted gourd seeds myself a couple years ago for the same purpose (painting) but got watermelon-type gourds inst ad of the hook neck type. Nancy

Comments:
I've grown bird house gourds this year and they are so exciting. They're shapes! They are just everywhere! Want to preserve them. Have a suggestion?

Comments:
hi there! finally found somethings on gourds, my mother and i have just gotten into this so it's new to us. we really enjoy it and are hoping to find more shows to attend. your help would be greatly appreciated thank you

Comments:
Love your web page - will stay in touch & see some of your other work!

Comments:
I also paint gourds to sell, love doing flowers too, now if I could get someone to clean all of them, I'd be a happy gourder. Would like to get web site, suggestions? I'm very new with computers. Nice work, but think a lighter backg. would help.

Comments:
Your gourds are very pretty. I paint a little and know how many hours you must have put into painting just one. Keep on painting I love to see them.

Comments:
Have been painting Santa gourds for several years, also bird houses. Love gourds - travel 150 miles each fall to gather just the right shaped ones for my use. Occasionally sell some, but most end up with family.

Comments:
wow i sure had fun loking at your beautiful gourds. I have grown a few in the past what is your technique for drying and cleaning so they can be painted so beautifully. thanks Laurie

Comments:
I'm a painter who lives much like Linda and enjoys the same things, gardening and flowers and painting from these and I stumbled upon this site whilst painting an armoire on the theme of a gourdvine and inside the doors are painted some of the objects tha people make from gourds so I came to the web to see examples of these and here I am. So I wanted to tell Linda that I wish I could see all of these in person, the colors look very beautiful, Im not certain from these photos if the flowers may not look a ittle heavy, if she finds that to be so she might try painting more thinly,a flower is such a light and fragile image and the colors are so fleeting... I hope she will find this useful and not overly critical, I wish only to help in a way that people who o not paint never can, I wish also to tell her that her composition is absolute perfection!I paint furniture which is also 3 dimensional and I thought I was masterful at wrapping my designs around my shapes but she is just tops! I wish I could see these b tter, this honeysuckle one looks just otherworldly......

I enjoyed looking at your gourds. I, too, am a gourd artist. I paint or collage large and small gourds, and sometimes weave the tops (I cut most of my gourds). Just recently planted gourds seeds and should have a decent group, I guess, in about a year. I would like to make contact with other gourd artists. I live in Los Angeles, CA.

Sorry I am not in the buying market. Nonetheless, I must comment that you have beautiful work that shows your artist's inner tranquility. Unfortunately, I am a starving artist -- humor -- a crafter myself. On another note, my family and I were born and raised in T.C. In fact, my parents, Gene and Shirley Denman, and siblings sill live in the area. I have been in Davison area over 20 years. My daughter and I are partners in Aunt Sally's Creations. Our cedar and pine birdhouses are made in Tecumseh, MI by my daugher, herself and her fiance, Jon. Our beautiful herb gardens are in Davison, MI where grow and sell many forms of herbs, some vegetables and perrenials. I have recently started expermenting with herbal vinegars and massaging sensual oils, salves, etc.

Linda, tried to sign up for the e-mail list on gourds at the bottom of your web site.......never could get through. When you have time (?) could you please e-mail me the site or e-mail address so I can sign up. I appreciate it, no rush, I am so far behi d now and in the middle of settling my mother-in-law into a nursing home (no help from other family members!!!!), that it will be a while before I can craft again.......thanks, mary

Hello, again, Joanne. Thanks for your info. I have my first "Gourd Show" during the month of March at a City Library. Am I excited?? You bet! I see I need a scanner--then maybe I'll show some of my work on the Internet. Good Luck with your new adventure. Wish you lived close by. CYL

Took quite awhile to load the pictures. jeanie, who helped me with my web page, says that saving the pictures to jpeg load faster. i think a lighter color in the background would help you gourds show up better. Very nice work. You sure show talent and a love for flowers. Sandlady
