The 3D Art Canvas
From wood burning to acrylic and pencil. The Gourd Reserve is dedicated to the education of Gourds for functional use, as well as pieces of art. They have been around since the dawn of time and man throughout the ages has used them for utility purposes as well as for decorative purposes, and even crafted as bird houses which is perhaps what they are most commonly recognized as today. Beyond being utility vessels, they are also a 3D art canvas now being favored by many fine artists around the world. Their use as an art canvas, their use by Creek Indians as purple Martin Houses, and educational books on gourd crafting and arts.
One of our visitors and a reader and fellow experimenter in drying techniques has clean and dried Apple Gourds in just 10 days. If you are not familiar with our drying experiments, please make yourself familiar with them by reading the Gourd Report Vol 1 before toasting one of your prize gourds. We hope you take time to explore our site and view some of the beautiful artwork that turns these gourds from a utilitary device to a beautiful piece of home decor fit for even the finest art collections.
