The author wants you to have a "hands on" learning environment, so once you've learned to clean and prepare your gourd, you will jump right in with a whimsical ladybug gourd and a strawberry birdhouse.
These excellent introductory projects are within the reach of beginners who have dabbled in crafts and are ready to apply their skills to the beauty of gourds. Experienced gourders, too, will appreciate new ideas, such as the Bird of Paradise Vase and the decorated pitcher.
