Many people that work with gourds find one type of medium that they become specialists in. Jenn Avery, a member of the Pennsylvania Gourd Society,is one of the top pyrography artists working with gourds. Susie Nonn and Marianne Barnes combine basket weaving and gourds in amazing ways. Phyllis Sickles' carved gourds are true works of art. As for me....remember that ADHD? I'm pretty sure my name will never be synonymous with a particular technique. Forever on a journey, with no destination, I keep finding new things to try. So,when I saw pictures from fiber artists,I had to try something like that on a gourd. It took quite a bit of work to figure out a method to attach the stone donut,and keep it evenly spaced within the thread framework. If you want to try it,click here for the full tutorial. And if you come up with an easier way to attach the stone donut, PLEASE let me know!
