 Quick & Easy Gourd Crafts by Mickey Baskett, With a simple gourd, it's easy to make an astonishing variety of bowls, boxes, baskets, pitchers, and dippers, as well as musical instruments and toys. Their common names describe their many shapes: kettle, canteen, bottle, bushel basket, apple, dipper, snake. Carve, burn, wax, varnish, and color them with all kinds of paints, dyes, oils, and markers to work their smooth, three-dimensional surfaces. Basic, time-tested techniques for making practical works of art introduce you to types of gourds; how to grow, dry, and clean them; and where to buy them ready to decorate. With household supplies, you're ready to sample the projects: a child's elephant pull toy, snowman, or ghost, for starters, or many versions of planters, lamps, bowls for flowers, fruit, and leaves; birdhouses, Easter bunny, Santa, patriotic bear, a band of drums, flutes, horns, fiddles, banjos.
