We're back from the first Michigan gourd festival and all things considered, (rain and new event) it went very well. I hope they have it again next year. Gary's gourd was well received and won the Best of Show ribbon. My last year's Bird of Paradise gourd got a first place in weaving. I really should have done another piece, but I'm obviously in 'drift' mode this year.
I'm a gourd artist and teacher, who likes to use various materials in my work on hard shelled gourds. I love the way that I can adapt most of my previous hobbies to enhance my gourd art.
Gary has retired from 31 years of teaching elementary school, and is also a gourd artist and teacher. He loves the researching, designing and implementing of his creative ideas, and likes to reflect his celtic heritage in his designs.
