WildCraft Gourd Art offers a site dedicated to all things gourds. From information on gourd art, growing gourds, harvesting, curing and crafting, you can find it here. Gourd artist Mary Hogue designs with neolithic based art forms as well as with more contemporary motifs. She enjoys incorporating the colors and blemishes produced by the natural curing and drying process of hard-shell gourds in her work. She takes inspiration from flora and fauna, forest to ocean. View a slideshow for a sample of her creations, or click "Galleries" at left.
