Wow. I had no idea that kind of transformation was possible for a humble gourd.

A real WOW factor. I clicked on the picture thinking it was wood or glass work. I never thought about gourds as an art medium. Very beautiful and also nice video.

Thank you so much!

I looked at your site , all beautiful works for sure . But I noticed one thing when you were carving this piece . You waited until your carving was completed , before you added color . Which I thought was odd 🤔 given the danger of accidentally having color getting onto the deeply carved areas , where you want to keep the natural color of the gourd light skin . My hand isn’t steady enough , to risk trying to add color ,and stain ! after such carving .i was wondering if you’ve tried coloring the gourd ,before any carving ??? Great work 👍

Thank you for your thoughtful response. The order of operations is always a question for internal debate as I work on each gourd. Factors to consider are the properties & vulnerability of adjacent areas (as you stated), method of application (in the case of a mosaic effect the “grout” must be applied & wiped off), compatibility of protective finishes on each area, and the visibility & erasability of guidelines (e.g, if I ink the surface I can no longer draw / remove pencil marks that guide carving / burning). While I try to minimize the two steps forward, one step back process of the work (creating & removing marks), the gourd tango is a part of the mixed technique nature of my work. The order of operations I choose for each gourd is a risk assessment decision unique to each piece.

Beautiful
