With their wonderful shapes, smooth surfaces just begging to be decorated, and hard, wood-like composition, gourds are a natural canvas for all kinds of creative projects.
In Glorious Gourd Decorating, super-talented crafter and the author of several of our Club’s most revered books, Mickey Baskett teaches you how to transform gourds into 30 attractive and practical gourd projects, from bowls and baskets to holiday decorations and unique centerpieces. Using all types of creative techniques—you’ll see how easily they can be carved, wood-burned, dyed, stained, decoupaged, and otherwise embellished with beads, fabric, and more with sensational results.
Make a dried flower découpage bowl, a magnolia purse lined with sumptuous fabric, a dimensional rose sculpture glistening with shiny dew-kissed petals, a vibrantly painted sunken tea garden vase, and more. Crisp color photographs, patterns to trace or enlarge, and Baskett’s detailed instructions put each project in the reach of even first-time gourd dabblers.
Complete with a fascinating look at the history of gourds throughout history and a gallery of pieces by contemporary gourd artists, Glorious Gourd Decorating will inspire you to get right to work. Hardcover, 128 pages, 8½” x 11”, 30 projects, patterns, color photos
