Authentic works of Art by artist Carolyn Yates.
Gourd artwork will last through many generations . Gourds have been found intact in Egyptian tombs. Each is a unique product of nature. The gourd sets in the field for a winter after the growing season. They are then cleaned. It then takes many hours to produce a work of art on a hard shelled gourd.
Each gourd is chosen for it’s special qualities as no two are alike. All artwork has to be adapted for a three dimensional surface. Proportions are very different than on a symetrical flat surface. Paintings and gourds must be chosen for each other. The final work is then coated with a protective agent.
