Gourd Crafts for the First Time (hardcover)

The title says it all--yet the book is a great reference for many techniques all gourd artists use throughout their lifetime with this hobby.

A large part of the book is organized by topic. Here are some of the examples:

What is a gourd?
How do I grow and harvest my own gourds?
What precautions should I take when working with gourds?
How do I cut open and clean a gourd?
How do I stitch a rim on the top edge with waxed linen? How do I make decorative eggs?
How do I make a critter?

Many of these questions are answered in the context of a complete project (for example, the answer to "How do I make a critter?" is a project where you assemble and paint....well....a critter!

All of these are easily within reach of the beginning gourd artist, and the book will be a handy reference for years to come.

List price $19.95. 112 pages hardcover.
