How a gourd becomes a Gourdament?
Hard-shelled gourds belong to the Cucurbitaceae family. They grow on long vines with curling tendrils, and the
type used to create Gourdaments are as hard as wood. Curing cucurbita gourds is a two-step process which may
take 1 to 6 months. During this time, the skin hardens, the exterior color of the gourd is set, and internal
drying commences. Adequate curing is achieved when the gourd becomes light in weight and the seeds can be
heard rattling inside. There are hundreds of gourd shapes, no two exactly alike. Gourdaments typically evolve
from kettle, martin house, bushel, or tobacco box gourds. The artist, working in concert with Mother Nature,
adds acrylic paint, leather dye, and clay to bring forth the spirit residing within each vessel. Finally, each gourd
is triple varnished to enrich and protect the artist's work.

News and Shows:
I have many gourd ideas brewing for 2008 -09. I'm expanding my tried and true designs to include lidded
boxes for jewelry and keepsakes. I am also working on the concept of transforming a gourd into the image of
Mother Nature. Bird designs and lions with wood shaving manes are also swirling around in imagination.
I am very exited about being on the cover of Gift Shop Magazine in Winter 2008! I would like to thank Robin
Smith for introducing my work to the magazine and Mike Mathews for taking such wonderful photographs.
I have two new ornament designs to be introduced in February!
We have successfully opened "The Gourd Gallery" in Sugar Loaf, New York!
Devon and other gourd artists from all over the world have found their home in this old farm house!
Lose yourself in a world and everlasting gourd gifts.
