Gourd artists — how many gourd lights do you usually make in a year?

If you create several, teach classes, or belong to a gourd patch, we now offer our Black Gourd Light Bases in convenient bundle options.

See them here:
https://www.bluewhalearts.com/product-categories/lighting-supplies.html

Makers Bundle – 10 pieces
Choose the option that fits your project:
• Black base only
• Black base + cord
• Black base + cord + bulb

Pro-Pack – 25 pieces
• Black base only
• Black base + cord

These bundles make it easier to have everything ready when you're working on multiple lights or preparing for classes.

Of course, if you only need one base, that option is still available too.

What is your favorite gourd to turn into a light? Bottle, kettle, cannonball… or something unusual?

I’ve been working on expanding my vinyl resist design selection and just added some new patterns to the shop 💛

Many of you have used my long-time favorites for years, so I wanted to bring in some fresh options for your gourd carving, pyrography, and painted projects.
These are cut from removable vinyl and designed to work well on curved gourd surfaces. I’d love to hear what you may be looking for.

🌿 Layered texture = instant depth.

This gourd came to life with dried Protea, natural Sponge Mushroom, and soft moss. The contrast between the structured petals and the circular mushroom grain creates such a rich woodland feel.

These natural botanicals are perfect for gourd art, rustic arrangements, wreaths, and mixed media designs.
