Summary:
A common wild gourd becomes a thing of beauty in the hands of 25 top
artisans who specialize in exploring, expressing--and teaching--their
handiwork. Magnificent projects shown in illuminating full-color
photos and practical skills introduce you to a diversity of ways to
turn gourds into works of art. You use simple media such as staining,
stenciling, carving, and pyrography, which are all clearly explained.
Projects include an elaborate teapot with a metallic finish; carved
oak and maple leaf bowls; "Path to Harmony" gourd with mother of
pearl, abalone and turquoise inlay; carved gourd lamps; hand painted
and decorated masks; gourd birdhouse with pyrographed Celtic design;
lizard and broken pottery designs; and "Baby's New Shoes" with
carved, pyrographed, painted finish.
