Process of creating gourd art
- Growing your gourds...thankless process where about 1/3 rot or collapse
- clean the gourds ... the outer shell and mold must be removed to reveal the inner hard shell
- clean the inside... cutting an opening to remove all the seeds, mold, etc. from the gourd
- NONE of the above is fun...but therapeutic
- then creation which can spark imagination and bring out the best in me
