"OUT  OF OUR GOURD" creates objects of art from gourds that we grow and are locally grown.  I dry them over the Winter months and in the Spring I clean them and start creating.  After the chore of cleaning is finished, the gourd decides what it wants to be and I comply by cutting, woodburning, carving, painting and or staining the one of a kind piece until it is complete.  All work is done by myself, Judie Lojewski/Gourdcrafter.
