I am a gourd artist who has been selling my art locally around Port Angeles, Washington for about ten years. I create one-of-a-kind gourd art with detailed pyrography and experiment with various shoe-polishes, dyes, ink pens, watercolors and wood stains for coloration. I also make and play my own hand-crafted gourd banjo and other musical instruments like thumb pianos. Visit my website http://gourdart.weebly.com for more of my gourd art galleries, pyrography on paper and gourd musical instruments. See some of my gourd banjos at http://gourdbanjos.weebly.com.more
